The Husband -Vishal Nagpal, has agreed to pay Rs.5 lacs [Rupees Five Lacs Only] and One Time Full and Final Settlement of all the claims. The appellant has already deposited a sum of Rs.5 lacs by a Demand Draft dated 05.05.2025 before the learned Senior Registrar of this Court and the parties have agreed that they shall not have any objection if the said amount of Rs.5 lacs [Rupees Five Lacs Only] deposited before the Senior Registrar, is released in favour of the Wife-Smt.

Latika Batra .....Respondent(s) Settlement Agreement. The parties have enumerated four cases that are pending in various courts against each other where the parties have agreed to cooperate with each other for the Final disposal of such cases; One Criminal Case filed under Section 498-A IPC mentioned at Sl.no.1 of the said list is still pending and counsel for the appellant prays that a direction be issued to the Respondents to cooperate in the petition to be filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. so that such criminal case may also be disposed of. 5. The Counsel for the Respondent does not dispute this argument and he says that the Respondent shall cooperate in the disposal of Criminal Case No.62 of 2015 arising out of Case Crime No.55 of 2015. 6. We find that the parties have resolved the matters amicably through mediation proceedings, therefore, the First Appeal No.85 of 2025 is disposed of in terms of the settlement arrived at between the parties before the Mediation and Conciliation Center of this Court on 29.08.2025. 7.
