The applicant's counsel submitted that the parties had entered into a customary divorce settlement, and a photocopy of the settlement was placed on record. Consequently, the applicant chose not to press the petition further. The court, noting the lack of prosecution, disposed of the petition as not pressed, vacated any interim relief that had been granted, and discharged the rule. No substantive merits of the maintenance claim were examined.
