Legal Question in Family Law in India

I need some help.My wife and I had a clear settlement agreement agreed to and signed, in which all terms and conditions, including alimony were taken care of.

Then we filed a joint petition in the family court along with a copy of the settlement agreement submitted. Due to change of dates, the petition was withdrawn instead of being ammended. We had clearly discussed that a fresh petition will be filed immediately after withdrawal. But the second party lawyer refused after the withdrawal took place.

What is the implication of the above on us? Is there anything to worry?

Can the other party go against the terms and conditions signed by them in the settlement agreement?

Already advised. This question has been repeated. My opinion remains the same. The first petition does not stand. You need to persuade the second party for filing a fresh petition. There is NO other remedy in law for getting the earlier agreement enforce.
