C.R. No.4613 of 2009 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.4613 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 18.08.2009 Harvinder Pal Singh .....Petitioner versus Gurpreet Kaur .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.H.S.Bedi, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 18.5.2009, passed by the Additional District Judge, Mohali, whereby the application moved by the petitioner and his wife to waive off the statutory period of six months as provided under Section 13-B (2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, has been dismissed. In view of the Division Bench Judgment of this Court in Charanjit Singh Mann versus Neelam Mann, AIR 2006 (P&H) 201, the impugned order warrants no interference by this Court in exercise of its C.R. No.4613 of 2009 (O&M) 2 revision jurisdiction as six month's waiting period cannot be waived off by a Court. This revision petition is accordingly dismissed. However, it does not preclude the petitioner or his wife to move an appropriate application before the Court and establish that there is already a substantial compliance of the said provision. Besides the aforesaid liberty, learned counsel for the petitioner appears to be right in contending that since the petitioner has filed the divorce petition on 29.4.2009, the six months' period would expire on 29.10.2009 and having regard to the urgency and the anxiety of the parties to part ways, it would be in the interest of justice to prepone the next date of hearing from 20.11.2009 to 30.10.2009 before the trial Court. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 18-08-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
