Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of both special leave petitions (SLP 20276/2011 and SLP 27500/2011) on July 9, 2013, after the parties reached a compromise. The Deed of Settlement incorporating agreed terms was filed as Annexure A-1. The Court directed the parties to approach the trial court to prepare a divorce decree based on the settlement terms. Importantly, the Court ruled that the trial court need not insist on the mandatory six-month waiting period for divorce, as it merely needed to execute the decree per the settlement conditions.
