Press Trust Of India

New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Manoj Prabhakar and his wife Sandhya on Tuesday arrived at an amicable settlement in the dowry harassment case after a Delhi court assisted them in working out the compromise.

Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Kumar called both the parties in his chamber following the submissions made by the counsels of the two sides requesting the judge to help them in arriving at a compromise.

The court, after listening to the parties, directed Manoj to transfer the entire basement in a Greater Kailash property and a house in Kalkaji in favour of his wife.

It further asked Manoj to pay Rs 15 lakhs to his wife within six months as a full and final settlement amount, which both the parties consented to. Sandhya consented to relinquishing her rights in favour of Prabhakar relating to all other immovable properties.

Manoj and Sandhya also agreed on quashing of the criminal proceedings instituted against each other and withdrawing of all complaints and litigations pending between them.

Sandhya had lodged an FIR accusing Manoj of dowry harassment, criminal breach of trust and bigamy in August. In her FIR, Sandhya had accused Manoj of beating her and her teenaged son and demanding more money for running three companies floated jointly by them.
