The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer. 8. This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioners as well as the respondent no.2, who all are present in Court. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Memorandum of Understanding dated 03.08.2026, whereby petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have expressed their clear intention towards resuming their matrimonial life and in pursuant whereof, are now residing together alongwith their minor children. As such, the parties have agreed to put a quietus to their disputes. 9.
