Learned counsels for the parties have drawn our attention to the separate affidavit filed by appellant as well as respondent. 9. Since contents of both the affidavit are verbatim the same, therefore, averments made in para 3 to 7, filed by Pradeep Kumar, respondent are being extracted below: “3. That now, with the intervention of family members and well-wishers, the parties have amicably resolved their disputes. 4. That both parties are living together as husband and wife and have resumed cohabitation, now the wife as well as the husband in terms of the compromise taken place between both of them, doesn’t want to press the decree of divorce and the present appeal. 5. That no dispute or grievance now survives between the parties. 6. That both parties jointly pray that the decree of divorce dated 24.05.2025 be set aside, in the interest of justice. 7. That this affidavit is being filed voluntarily, without any force, pressure, or coercion.” 10. Since the dispute between the parties has now been resolved, and they have decided to live together as husband and wife, and also in view of the oral prayer made by learned counsels for the parties and also the parties who are physically present in Court, we set aside the ex parte decree of divorce impugned in this appeal. 11. Accordingly, the appeal is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) (Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.) 07.05.2026 Mahinder/
