1. The appellant/Deep Mala is before this Court against the concurrent findings on divorce.

3. The appeal is hence disposed of as follows:
The respondent shall pay a sum of Rs. 5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lacs) to the appellant within a period of three months from today. Till the amount is paid the respondent will continue to pay the interim maintenance of Rs. 7,000/- (Rupees Seven Thousand) per month. After the payment, as above, is made there shall be no further liability on the part of the respondent to pay the interim maintenance and there shall be no other claim on the part of the appellant in future. We make it clear that there shall be no litigation between the parties on account of this matrimonial issue and if any proceeding is pending before any Forum, the respective parties will withdraw the same.
4. Contempt notice is discharged and the Contempt Petition (C) No. 676/2017 is dismissed.
