4. As per the Consent Terms the respondent No.2 is entitled to
custody of child by name Shivansh aged 2 ½ years.
5. We have perused FIR as also the Consent Terms. As interest of
minor child is involved, we deem it fit to see that in case of any difficulty
minor is not left unprovided for.
6. Accordingly, petitioner No.1 has tendered additional affidavit
stating therein that he is ready and willing to contribute for betterment and
welfare of Shivansh in case of emergency and necessity till respondent No.2
does not remarry. We accept that affidavit.
7. Respondent No.2 has also tendered additional affidavit stating
that she can manage herself and child and she will not raise any claim for
educational expenses or other expenses for welfare of Shivansh.
Considering the welfare of minor we are not in position to accept this
statement.
8. However, as the petitioner No.1 and respondent have arrived
at settlement, they are free to abide by it keeping in mind that interest of
minor is paramount and it needs to be protected.
9. In view of readiness and willingness shown by the petitioner
No.1, we make Rule absolute in terms of prayer clause (a).
