Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2008
JUDGMENT
Kurian Joseph, J.
Both the husband and wife are aggrieved by the judgment and
decree in O.P. No.32 of 2004 on the file of the Family Court, Thiruvalla.
The wife filed the Original Petition for recovery of patrimony. The Family
Court granted a decree for recovery of 26 sovereigns of gold ornaments
or its value to the tune of Rs.1,17,000/- with costs to the tune of
Rs.2,000/-.
2. When the appeals came up for hearing before us, we directed the
parties to appear before this Court. We also had the assistance of
Advocate Smt. K. Girija as conciliator at the initial stage. Thereafter, this
Court had extensive discussion with the parties. It is heartening to note
that the parties have ultimately come to an agreement to settle their
disputes arising for consideration in these appeals. The husband Sri. A.
Prasad Kumar has agreed to pay an amount of Rs.60,000/- in addition to
Rs.1,19,000/- already deposited before the Family Court, Thiruvalla. The
2
terms of the agreement have been noted by this Court by order dated
29.1.2008. In view of the agreement as above, these appeals are disposed
of in terms of the settlement with the following direction:
There will be a direction to the Family Court, Thiruvalla to
forthwith release the amount of Rs.1,19,000/- deposited by Sri. A. Prasad
Kumar, the husband to Smt. V.D. Radha Kumari, the wife. The husband is
also directed to pay the amount of Rs.60,000/- to the wife immediately.
