In pursuance of order dated 28.04.2025 of this Court, parties have also participated in the mediation proceedings and have settled their dispute and a settlement agreement dated 04.05.2025 was also entered into between the parties. 4. From the perusal of record, it appears that there is a report of mediation centre dated 04.05.2025 showing that a settlement agreement has been entered into between the parties on 04.05.2025 and as per the settlement agreement, both the parties have decided to settle their dispute amicably and it was also decided that the applicant no. 3, Zeeshan and opposite party no. 2, Smt. Sheeba, will remain together peacefully as husband and wife. Paragraph no. 7 of the settlement agreement dated 04.05.2025 is being quoted as under: "7. The following settlement has been arrived at between the Parties hereto: a) That as per the order dated 20.01.2025 passed by the Hon'ble Court, both the parties are living together as husband and wife in perfect harmony, hence there is no need for interim settlment. In continuation of the aforesaid, the parties appeared and stated that they are fully satisfied with this reunion and further they want to continue it for the rest of their lives. b) That the husband and wife undertake that they shall not take any such action which may hurt either of the party mentally or physically and shall try to satisfy each other by their activities. c) That the parties undertake not to commit any kind of cruelty against each other in any manner whatsoever. d) That it has been agreed between the parties that they will behave properly living in peaceful and cordial atmosphere. e) That the husband undertakes to take care of his wife and children fulfill all essential requirements and amenities to them in future. f) That it has also been agreed between the parties that all civil and criminal cases, if any, filed by them against each other or their family members regarding present matrimonial dispute, shall be withdrawn by the parties concerned by taking appropriate steps before the Court/authority concerned. g) That the parties will not file any fresh case against each other or their family members in respect of present matrimonial dispute. h) That it has been agreed between the parties that they shall not violate the terms and conditions of this settlement otherwise the aggrieved party will be free to take legal recourse." 5. Considering the fact that parties have settled their dispute and a settlement agreement was also executed between the parties on 04.05.2025 before the Mediation Centre, High Court, Allahabad, therefore, in such circumstances, permitting to continue the impugned proceeding will amount to travesty of justice. 6. Thus, in view of the well settled principles of law as laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court reported in 2003(4) SCC 675 (B.S. Joshi Vs. State of Haryana), J.T. 2008(9) SC 192 (Nikhil Merchant Vs.
