Accordingly, a joint petition for divorce has been filed before this Court vide LA No.1 of 2021. A petition for watving the six months cooling off period also has been filed as LA No.2 of 2021.
& The parties are living separately for six years. The divorce petition was originally filed by the husband in the year =OUS. The parties appeared through online and we interacted with them. The learned counsel appearing for them identified both the parties.
3. Inthe light of the fact that the divorce petition itself was filed in the year 2015, we find that the six months cooling off period can be waived. In the light of interaction we grant a
decree of divorce. Accordingly, the marriage solemnized
