VINOD K.SHARMA, J. - The petitioner by way of present revision petition has challenged the order dated 1-09-2006 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Karnal, vide which the application moved by the petitioner for waiving/condoning the statutory period of six months for grant of mutual divorce under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act (for short the 'Act') has been declined.

2. The parties were married on 9th April 2000 according to Hindu rites and ceremonies. However, no issue was born out of the wedlock. Later on due to indifference in thinking and different attitude, the parties could not adjust with each other and they decided to seek divorce by mutual consent and filed a joint petition under Section 13-B of the Act for dissolution of marriage on 24th July 2006. Their statements were recorded on 25th July 2006 and period of six months was given to rethink about reconciliation. The said six months' period is to expire on 25-01-2007.

3. The petitioner thereafter moved an application alleging therein that the father of the petitioner lodged FIR No.344 dated 11-8-2000 under Sections 406 and 498-A of Indian Penal Code in Police Station, Assandh, District Karna
