Grounds pleaded are that the parties have compromised the matter with the intervention of respectables. All matrimonial disputes have been amicably settled. Vishal Bawa- petitioner No.1 and Tejinder Kaur @ Tannu-respondent No.2 have filed a petition for divorce by mutual consent under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and the same is pending in the Court of District Magistrate, Patiala.
