4.Reading of the entire CD file shows that some sort of trouble arose between A1 and the de-facto complainant herein for the above said illegal relationship. At one point of time, the wife of the de- facto complainant namely Geetha has also given a similar complaint. But what happened to that complaint is not clear on record. Similarly there is some sort of arrangement between the above said person and A1 in respect of the matrimonial issue, which is settled on 18/10/2021.
