Please send the 23/3 application filed before court. If mutual consent divorce was filed and the second motion has also been completed, the divorce has become final on the terms on which settlement has been reached. In such circumstances any further case against you cannot survive. However I will have to see the mutual divorce petition/orders and compromise application

Hi, many details in your mail are missing as when the divorce on mutual consent was decided and what much time is lapsed till date. From your query it is not possible to know the complete facts of the case and in this situation it is difficult to clarify and advise you correctly. You are suggested to provide the complete facts.
Thanks and regards

Sir,
Before answering this query, it is important to see the terms of settlement and the subsequent proceedings. A right, if it has accrued, may be waived by the consent of parties.
The rest can be discussed when we meet.
