Subject to the said deposit, notice be issued to respondent no.3 intimating the date of appearance before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre. An amount of Rs. 20,000/- shall be paid to the wife of the petitioner no.1 on the date of her first appearance before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre. This order be intimated to the District Judge, Meerut to refer the matter to the Mediation and Conciliation Centre, Meerut.
For a period of six months or till the matter is resolved through the process of mediation, whichever is earlier, no coercive measure shall be taken against any of the petitioners in the aforesaid case.
