JUDGMENT

A, Muhamed Mustaque, ]

Tals appeal arises from a fuddgment dismissing a petition tor divorce Med by the appellant-husband. Pending appeal, the parties have resolved their dispute and decided to separate the marriage by mutual consent. 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

MAT.APPEAL NO. 35 OF 2020

between fhe appellant and the respondent on 23.05.2010 is cissolved by a decree of divorce. The compromise agreement produced alone with LA Nel ef 2021 will form part of the
