MUMBAI: State cabinet minister Dhananjay Munde and the woman with whom he admitted to having had an extra-marital relationship and fathering two children have told Bombay high court they have decided to go for mediation to resolve their dispute.
On Thursday, Justice Anil Menon was informed by the advocates of Munde and the woman that they have decided to refer their dispute to V K Tahilramani, former chief justice of the Madras high court. They also tendered consent terms signed by both parties.
Last December, Munde had filed a defamation suit against the woman to protect his ‘right to privacy'. On December 16, 2020, on Munde’s plea for interim relief, Justice Menon was told by his advocate that “the defendant proposes to publish further materials which are private in nature”.
