JUDGMENT
Sathish Ninan, J. The parties have settled their disputes in mediation. They have entered into a memorandum of agreement incorporating the terms of settlement. The decree and judgment impugned in these appeals are set aside and a modified decree is passed in terms of settlement. The appeals are disposed of in terms of the settlement. The memorandum of agreement will form part of this judgment.
2. Clause 6 of the terms of settlement reads thus:- “It is further agreed by both appellant and respondent to file a petition for divorce on mutual consent before the Family Court, Thodupuzha on or before 10.04.2025.”
-: 2 :- 2024:KER:87819
The parties have been living separately atleast since the year 2004. Hence we are sure that if an application is moved seeking for wavier of the statutory cooling period of six months, the same will be considered positively by the Family Court.
