Re: Regarding withdrawal of case 498a

There is no question of trust or mistrust. The issues can be settled in court. The parties may file a joint affidavit in the court about settlement of all the issues; and you people may deposit the money to be paid to the lady in the court which money she may withdraw at the time of final decree/order/settlement.
