The appellant got married to the respondent on 01.11.2006 and a child was born on 16.08.2007. Subsequently, disputes arose between the parties and therefore, they have been living separately. The respondent filed H.M.O.P.No.57 of 2015 on the file of Family Court, Erode for divorce on the ground of cruelty. On contest, the Family Court found that there was cruelty and granted divorce. Against the Decree of divorce only the present appeal has been filed. 3. The matter was already referred to Mediation Centre to be settled between the parties. 4.

The Mediation report dated 30.11.2018 would reveal that the issues between the parties have been settled and a joint memo of compromise is also entered between the parties. As per the joint memo of compromise, the respondent has paid a sum of Rs.25,22,000/-; to the appellant out of which, Rs.15,22,000/-; is for the wife/appellant and Rs.10,00,000/-; is for the child. The joint memo of compromise would also reveal that the entire amount has already been paid. Therefore, the decree of divorce could be confirmed as the parties themselves agreed in clause 2 of the joint memo of compromise that they are withdrawing all the allegations against each other. 6. In view of the Mediation Report dated 30.11.2018 and joint memo of compromise signed by both the appellant and the respondent and counter signed by the respective counsels, the Decree of divorce granted by the Family Court is confirmed and the joint memo of compromise filed by both the parties shall form part of the records.
