                                                              NON-REPORTABLE

                        IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
                        CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION

                      CIVIL APPEAL NO.  10561  OF 2014
                  (Arising out of SLP(C) No.13941 of 2013)


Smt. Prachi Singh Patil                                       .....Appellant


                                    Versus

Sri Rahul G. Patil                                           .....Respondent


                                  O R D E R


      Leave granted.

      During pendency of the appeal the parties to the litigation  had  made
several serious efforts to settle their disputes and for that  purpose  they
had several meetings but ultimately they had decided  to  get  separated  by
virtue of consent terms arrived at between them on 26th September, 2014.   A
copy of the said consent terms has been placed on  record  and  the  parties
have also assured this Court that they would act as per the said terms.

      We record the fact that HMA No.579/2008  -  Rahul  Gunwantsingh  Patil
Vs. Prachi Singh Patil had also been filed  in  the  Court  of  Civil  Judge
(Senior  Division)  at  Thane,   Maharashtra.   In  view  of  the   amicable
settlement arrived at among the parties, the said  proceedings  are  treated
to have been filed under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and  by
exercising our power under Article 142 of  the  Constitution  of  India,  we
declare the marriage to be dissolved in view of  the  fact  that  sufficient
efforts made for settlement had failed for last more than six years.

      The appeal stands disposed of in view of the consent terms dated  26th
September, 2014 arrived at between  the  parties  and  the  marriage  stands
dissolved as stated hereinabove.

      The appeal stands disposed of with no order as to costs.
