1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY C IVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION SECOND APPEAL NO. 1066 OF 2005 Mrs. Sonal Vikram Ghavate ... Appellant Vs. Shri Vikram Namadevrao Ghavate .. Respondent Mr. Hitesh P. Vyas, Advocate for the appellant. Ms. Padmini Pathak i/b. M/s. Kiran Jain & Co. Advocates for the resondent. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 20th July, 2009. P.C. 1. The respondent-husband had filed Marriage Petition No. 246/2001 seeking dissolution of marriage under Sections 12 and 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act. By Judgment dated 22.3.2004, the decree was passed in favour of the respondent dissolving the marriage and directing him to pay maintenance at the rate of Rs.5,000/- per month. That decree was challenged by the appellant- wife in Civil Appeal No.246 of 2004 which also came to be dismissed by the District Court. Against the concurrent findings, she has filed this Second Appeal. 2. Now, the appellant and respondent, who are present before the Court 2 along with their Counsel, have filed the consent terms marked “X” for identification and thereby they want to withdraw all the allegations made against each other and to dissolve the marriage under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act by mutual consent. Admittedly, the parties are residing separately since 13.5.2001. There has been no cohabitation between them and their marriage is irretrievably broken down. The parties admit the contents of the consent terms. The respoondent-husband has also handed over three Demand Drafts of Rs.5 lakh each to the appellant-wife before the Court as per settlement.Therefore, this Appeal is disposed of as per the consent terms marked “X”. 3. Besides this, the learned Counsel for the respondent, after taking instructions, makes a statement that the respondent-husband shall return the articles of the appellant-wife, if they are lying with him. Appeal stands disposed of accordingly. (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
