A bench of Justices Surya Kant, Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi recorded the settlement arrived at between the parties according to which the man will pay Rs 2.25 crore to the woman upon which all claims between them will be settled.

"We dissolve the marriage between the petitioner and respondent 1 (husband). There shall be no relationship, matrimonial or otherwise, between them hitherto," the bench held on August 29.

According to the settlement, the man will pay Rs 1 crore by August 31 and the rest Rs 1.25 crore would be paid by November 30.
