There is no case for the petitioner that no counselling was done. Whether the counselling is effective or not will depend upon the reaction of the parties. No such direction can be issued by this Court. However, if the petitioner still feels that there is any likelihood of a settlement, she can take the initiative and bring out the settlement and if a request is made before the Family Court at any point of time before final judgment is pronounced, an opportunity will be given to the parties to settle the matter.
