Pending cases-498a, Divorce case filed by me in lower court, Section 24 Maintenance decided against me.

Against maintenance judgment by lower court, I approached Delhi High Court and filed petition of CM (Main). The petition was disposed of by High Court with the direction to both the parties to go to Delhi High Court Mediation centre for settlement of matter (based on our request).

The mediation proceedings went on for six months and a settlement agreement was signed by me and my wife in presence of both the parties lawyers and Delhi High Court Mediator who also signed the same.

According to settlement I prepared the DD towards first installment as per settlement agreement and asked for my wife signautare for Divorce Petition of Mutual consent in line with agreed settlement.

Now more than one month is over and she is neither willing to sign the paper nor take the money.

My lawyer is asking me to file a petition for contempt of court.

Please advise whether it will help me and if so how. She is in governement JOb

No amount is handed over. DD is still with me.

Please advise whether contempt petition shall be entertained by the court

then its very simple.. keep that hold.. just convert that d.d as fixed deposit.. make an endorsement in settlement agreement that AFTER GRANTED THE MUTUAL DIVORCE ONLY SHE IS ELIGIBLE TO WITHDRAW THE DEPOSIT AMOUNT. now its will be favour to you..
