Petitioners married on 1.4.2007. Marriage subsisted only for two weeks and they were separately living thereafter. They filed a joint petition before the Family Court under section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act and also filed a petition under section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code to waive the statutory period of six months. It is submitted that the girl's marriage is proposed to be held on 6.7.2008 and the statutory period of six months should be dispensed with. We have directed both parties to be present to verify whether the petition was genuine. Both parties were present with identity cards and both were identified by the advocates. In these circumstances, we withdraw O.P.No.261 of 2008 from the Family Court, Kannur to this court and allow dissolution of marriage on the basis of the petition under section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. We also waive the statutory period of six months on the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case. The writ petition is allowed. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE P.N.RAVINDRAN JUDGE tks
