ORAL ORDER

¶33

Seeking the Court to quash the order that is rendered by the Court of V Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Bengaluru in Criminal Miscellaneous Case No.531/2024 dated 10.09.2025, this writ petition is filed.

¶34

Heard Sri. Sharath S Gogi learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Sri.N.Manohar learned counsel for respondent.

¶35

Both the learned counsel submit that the parties to the proceedings arrived at a settlement and the terms of settlement were also reduced to writing but as the petitioner is in possession of the clothing of the respondent, her cot and almirah and as they were not handed over, respondent/wife failed to accept the terms of settlement and thus the impugned order came to be passed.

¶36

Both the learned counsel further states that the parties have arrived at a settlement and the husband agreed to return those items to respondent/wife and hence setting aside the impugned order, Family Court may be directed to record the
