None for the respondents. CORAM : P.V. KAKADE, J. DATE : 15TH NOVEMBER, 2006. ORAL ORDER : Heard Advocate for the applicant. None appears for the respondents, though served. This is an application for confirmation of Judgment of absolute divorce passed by the Circuit Court for Montgomery 2 County, Maryland, USA in Civil No.188243 dated 16.7.1999. 2. It appears from the record that the applicant and respondent No.1 resided together in United States of America as husband and wife until 1999 and have a child out of the said wedlock. Due to incompatibility of the applicant and the respondent No.1, the applicant filed proceeding for divorce before the Circuit Court, Montgomery County, State of Maryland, USA. The Judgment was passed of absolute divorce by consent order in the said proceeding, which is annexed to the present application. It is submitted that the Judgment of the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, is required to be confirmed and directions are required to be given to the Civil Registrar to cancel the entry. 3. In view of these circumstances, I do not see why the application should not be made absolute and, therefore, the application is allowed in terms of prayer clauses (a) and (b) and stands disposed of with no order as to costs.
