A family court on Thursday granted divorce to former media baron Peter Mukerjea and his estranged wife Indrani, both facing trial in the Sheena Bora murder case. The divorce was amicable and the court was satisfied that it was a fit case for dissolution of the 17-year-old marriage, Indrani's lawyer said. The couple had moved the family court in Bandra in September last year, seeking divorce by mutual consent.

Their divorce settlement included division of assets, including the couple's properties in Spain and London, bank deposits and other investments. Indrani, also a former media executive, had served Peter notice for divorce on the grounds that their marriage had "irretrievably broken down" and there was no chance of reconciliation. Indrani, 47, and Peter, 65, had got married in 2002. "They stand finally divorced. The court perused all documents to see the compliance of consent term sand granted divorce on being satisfied that it was a fit case for divorce," Indrani's lawyer Edith Dey said.
