IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.4299 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision : 20.7.2010 Harjinder Singh ....Petitioner No.1 And Sukhvir Kaur ...Petitioner No.2 CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Narinder Lucky, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The only prayer that has been made in the instant petition is that the hearing of the petition moved by the petitioners under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act for dissolution of their marriage by way of a decree of divorce be preponed from 12.01.2011 to any date subsequent to the period of six months which expired on 12.7.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioners while addressing this Court has contended that the petitioners are desirous of an early settlement as they want to part ways and lead their lives afresh. Having regard to the contention that has been made before this Court and also considering the fact that six months' statutory period has since expired on 12.7.20010 and no fruitful purpose will be served by keeping the relation of the parties in such a suspended C.R.No.4299 of 2010 (O&M) -2- animation, I deem it appropriate to direct the trial Court that the petition under Section 13-B of the Act preferred by the petitioners jointly be disposed of on 1.8.2010 on which date the parties shall put in appearance before it to make statements as mandated by law. Petition stands disposed of. 20.7.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
