J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. This appeal has been filed against the judgment and decree in O.P.911/2006 on the file of the Family Court, Palakkad. The petition was filed seeking maintenance. Aggrieved by the order, the husband has come up in appeal. When the appeal came up for hearing before us, we directed the parties to be present before us. We also had the assistance of Smt.K.V.Reshmi, learned counsel practicing before this court, as conciliator. Thanks to the efforts taken by the conciliator and this Court and also thanks to the co-operation extended by the counsel on both sides and the parties, we are indeed happy to note that the parties have decided to forget the past and forgive each other. They have been living now quite peacefully since the last order dated 27.2.2008. They are present before us today. They submit that until death they will not part and they will live happily. We record our appreciation for the efforts taken by Smt.Reshmi as M.A.No.703/2007 2 conciliator in bringing about the reconciliation and reunion. In view of the submission of the parties, we set aside the judgment in O.P.No.911/2006 and dismiss the said original petition. It is submitted that the appellant has deposited an amount of Rs.3,000/- before the Family Court, Palakkad as per order dated 13.2.2008. It will be open either to the petitioner or the respondent to withdraw the amount. The matrimonial appeal is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE ps
