Quick Summary: A long-standing legal battle between Baburam Gautam and Kanishka Singh has finally ended with a divorce settlement. The Supreme Court, led by Judge K. Vinod Chandran, ended their marriage on December 18, 2025.
The case began when Baburam Gautam and others asked to stop a criminal case from 2024. This case started from a 2023 crime report at the women's police station in Mathura. The appeal was heard on September 9, 2025, where both parties wanted to settle.
On the hearing day, Baburam and Kanishka Singh agreed to separate. The settlement involved Baburam paying ₹30 lakhs to Kanishka. Baburam gave two checks of ₹15 lakhs each, dated December 12 and December 15, 2025.
"The husband and wife have agreed to go their separate ways with a final settlement of Rs.30,00,000."
Both parties had many cases against each other. Kanishka had cases in Mathura and Allahabad, while Baburam had cases in Bareilly, Mathura, and Shahjahanpur. All these cases will be dropped as part of the settlement.
Both parties agreed to delete all photos and videos of each other from social media. They also promised not to post anything about their troubled relationship in the future.
"The parties herein agree to remove all photo/video relating to each other from all social media platforms."
Judge K. Vinod Chandran used Article 142 of the Indian Constitution to end the marriage, acknowledging it had completely broken down. This decision was made official on December 18, 2025.
"The appeal is approved with the above instructions and the marriage is officially ended."
The case shows how complicated legal and personal fights can be and the relief that a settlement can bring to both sides involved.
