3. The respondent no.2 is present in court today and is identified by IO/SI Sanjay. I have spoken with respondent no.2 in Hindi and it is stated by her that she has compromised all dispute s with the petitioner s. Marriage between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 stands already dissolved by way of decree of divorce. No child was born from wedlock of petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2.
