Hello,

1) Under what circumstances did the husband wife mutually agree in high court to live in a particular city?

2) If there is an undertaking before the court and the court has so decreed you are bound to abide by it.

3) You need to get another direction either from the same High Court or the Supreme Court to go against such undertaking.

4) You need to provide a lot more details to get an appropriate advice in the matter.

1. Such undertakings before the High Court are only for amicable resolution of the dispute of which the court is seized. They are not binding on the parties as no court can force a person to live in a particular city forever.

2. After the undertaking is given the spouses can by mutual consent shift to another city.

No, there is no compulsion, if there is any change in circumstances then any party may file an application/petition before court with the prayer to change the city due to that reason, the court may pass an order
