O R D E R
1. Having heard the learned counsels appearing for the parties and noticing that the relationship between the parties is husband and wife, we are of the view that there is possibility of dispute being settled through mediation. Hence, the dispute is referred to Supreme Court Mediation Centre.
2. The parties are directed to appear before the Supreme Court Mediation Centre virtually on the first hearing which is fixed on 16.11.2026 at 11:00 am, without waiting for any further notice. In case the nominated learned mediator requires the physical presence of the parties, then the parties may appear physically.
3. List the matter after the mediation report is received.
4. In the meanwhile all proceedings arising out of FIR No. 202/2024 registered at Police Station Chandrashekharpur, District UPD, Bhubaneshwar, Orissa, shall remain stayed. (RASHI GUPTA) (AVGV RAMU) AR-CUM-PS COURT MASTER (NSH)
