Paragraph No. 7 of the agreement is being reproduced below: “7. The following settlement has been arrived at between the parties hereto:- (a) That both the parties have agreed to live separately and mutually settled to dissolve their relationship as husband and wife and in this regard they have filed a joint petition u/s 13-B of the Hindu Marriage 1 of 2 Act before the Learned Principal Judge, Family court, Hapur and the same is registered as Matrimonial Petition No. 619/2024 ( Smt.

The parties undertake that they shall produce the certified copy of the judgement passed in the divorce petition before the Hon'ble High Court at the time of hearing. (b) That it has been agreed between the parties that the husband shall pay an amount of Rs. 2,50,000/- (Rs.Two Lakh Fifty Thousand only) to the wife towards permanent alimony including Stridhan, maintenance and all her other financial claims.
