If his discharge will be dismissed then he will go to Hon'ble Higher Court and this litigation will continue for several years. Why you both not opt for mediation proceedings to settle this case amicably. Almost one decade is going to over. Better settle at this stage. You may ask for monetary relief to settle your case. You may get handsome amount in the form of alimony for parting your ways. Think with cool mind. Else you may continue fighting your case endlessly. In normal circumstances, discharge application is not allowed by the Hon’ble Court and you may get benefit of this.
