Regarding settlement in matrimonial case

Yes, you can bring your willingness to settle to the attention of the Chennai High Court, but the court cannot force your wife to accept. The proper route is to file a memo or application in your pending divorce or DVC proceedings, stating that you are ready to pay a reasonable, capacity-based amount as full and final settlement, and that the wife is insisting on an exorbitant sum. You can also request the court to refer the matter to the Tamil Nadu Mediation and Conciliation Centre at the Madras High Court, where a trained mediator can help bridge the gap. Alternatively, if a settlement is reached, a joint memo of compromise can be filed for the court to record and pass appropriate orders, including quashing connected criminal proceedings. However, mediation is voluntary; if your wife refuses, the court will proceed with the case on merits. Your offer should be realistic and backed by your income and liability proof, as courts assess maintenance based on capacity to pay, not the wife's demand alone.

When the matter is pending in court, it is to the advantage of both the parties that settlement is finalised with the approval of the Court.

. You may seek mediation through the court where the DV and divorce cases are pending, to attempt an amicable settlement.
2. You may approach the appropriate High Court through your advocate, if legally justified. However, the High Court generally cannot force your wife to accept your proposed amount or consent to divorce.
3. Ask your lawyer to put your reasonable settlement offer in writing, including the proposed deposit for the child's future.
4. Do not agree to an amount beyond your financial capacity. Continue defending the pending cases on their merits if settlement fails.
5. If the settlement was only discussed orally between lawyers, it may not be a binding agreement.
One question, sir: Are both cases pending in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) or Kolkata (West Bengal)?

Instruct your lawyer to move an application for Court Mediation in the pending proceedings.

Document your financial standing (income tax returns, pay slips, debt obligations) so your lawyer can present an objective picture of your genuine financial capacity during mediation.

Avoid private, unrecorded discussions with third parties if conversations turn aggressive or unreasonable; conduct all settlement communications formally through the court mediator.

Thank you for all sir my doubt cleared now
