NOT COMPLYING WITH TERMS OF COMPROMISE WILL AMOUNT TO CONTEMPT OF COURT

The Supreme Court, in a judgement by His Lordship Judge Banumathi, told a couple going through a mutual consent divorce who had arrived at certain consent terms through mediation, to follow up and comply with the consent terms arrived at in mediation or else, they would be held in contempt of court.

Justice Banumathi held that:

“In case of non-compliance of the terms of compromise, the parties would be liable for contempt of this Court in addition to other remedies available under law.”
