In terms of the said settlement agreement, the parties had agreed to dissolve their marriage, without any further - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010382822026 NC: 2026:KHC:41779-DB CCC No. 637 of 2026 claims against each other. The accused had also agreed to cooperate with the complainant for closure/quashment of C.C.No.497/2017 filed by the accused against the complainant and his family members, under Sections 498A and 494 read with Section 34 of IPC, which is pending before the IV Additional District Judge, Danapur, Patna (Bihar). 3. The Complainant's case is that the terms of the said settlement have been breached. However, we are not persuaded to accept that the same warrants initiation of proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The complaint is, accordingly, closed. 4. This order will not preclude the complainant from availing of the substantive remedies available in law. Sd/- (VIBHU BAKHRU) CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- (K.S. HEMALEKHA) JUDGE KMV List No.: 1 Sl No.: 2
