JUDGMENT : V. Ramasubramanian, J. The parties to the above three family court appeals and the criminal petitions are husband and wife respectively. The marriage between the parties was solemnized according to the Hindu customary rites on 12-6-2009. The parties do not have any children born in the wedlock. 2. It appears that disputes and differences arose between the parties, which led to the parting of ways ever since 14-6-2010. While the husband filed F.C.O.P. No. 95 of 2011 on the file of the Family Court, Secunderabad, for dissolution of marriage, the wife filed F.C.O.P. No. 613 of 2011 for restitution of conjugal rights. 3. By a common order dated 23-7-2013, the Family Court granted a decree of divorce, after recording a finding that the husband should pay Rs.13,50,000/- to the wife. The petition for restitution of conjugal rights was dismissed by the Family Court. 4. As against the dismissal of the petition for restitution of conjugal rights and as against the decree of divorce granted by the Family Court, the wife field two appeals in F.C.A. Nos.267 of 2013 and 35 of 2014. The husband filed an appeal in F.C.A.No.358 of 2013 against the direction issued by the Family Court to pay Rs.13,50,000/-. 5. Apart from the above appeals, there were also one criminal complaint and one complaint under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, pending against the husband. As against the police complaint and the complaint before the Protection Officer, the husband came up with two quash petitions in Criminal Petition Nos. 5753 and 5756 of 2017. 6. When the family court appeals came up before the Court for hearing, the Bench explored the possibility of amicable settlement one way or the other. After deliberations, the parties agreed that they will have their marriage dissolved by a decree of divorce passed by consent and that the husband will pay a total amount of Rs.23,00,000/- in full and final settlement of all the claims of the wife. Accordingly, compromise memo was signed by the parties. The Compromise Memo reads as follows: “1. It is submitted that the marriage of the appellant with the respondent was solemnized as per Hindu rites and customs on 12-6-2009. No children out of their wedlock. 2.
