ORAL JUDGMENT
(Per: HONOURABLE DR. JUSTICE RAVI RANJAN)

Date : 14-05-2018
Both the husband and wife are present before us.

At the time of hearing, learned counsel for the appellant

confines this appeal to only part of the impugned judgment dated

18.07.2017 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court,

Begusarai in Divorce Case No. 88 of 2011 by which the court

below has imposed compensation of Rs. 5 lacs to be paid to the

respondent by the appellant. Though finally divorce has been

granted on the ground of irretrievable break down of marriage,

since neither the husband nor the wife has challenged that part of

the order, we will not go into the merit of the appeal.

The husband has filed a supplementary affidavit stating

that he is agreed to pay a compensation amount of Rs.4 lacs in

place of Rs. 5 lacs which has been imposed by the court below.

The wife has also filed an affidavit stating that she

would be satisfied if Rs. 4 lacs is given to her.

Both of them have stated before us that they are

agreeable to such terms and conditions.

Accordingly, this appeal stands disposed of with

modification in the impugned judgment to the extent that in place

of Rs. 5 lacs, the appellant would be liable to pay Rs. 4 lacs within

a period of four months. The amount would be credited into SB

A/C No. 536702010010178 of Union Bank of India, Khagaria

Branch, Khagaria of the respondent within four months from

today.

On payment of such amount, the respondent-wife has

agreed before us that she will withdraw Khagaria Mahila P.S. Case

No. 06/2012 dated 21.1.2012 registered under Sections 498A of

the Indian Penal Code and Section ¾ of Dowry Prohibition Act,

which is pending in the court of Sub-Divisional Judicial

Magistrate, Khagaria.

If such petition is filed before the court below, the same

would be required to be considered in accordance with law in line

with the various decisions of the Courts including the Apex Court

considering such cases to be family matters.

In case the amount of Rs. 4 lacs is not paid within a

period of four months then the respondent would be at liberty to

file a petition before this Court for revival of this appeal.

Accordingly, this appeal stands disposed of in terms of

the aforesaid findings, observations and directions.
