Kiran Kumar (Expert) 06 September 2011
comply with the conditions mentioned in Section 13 B of the Hindu Marriage Act.

a written settlement is necessary in order to ensure proper filing of the matter and for permanent ending of disputes between the parties.

the wife can withdraw the RCR and the terms and conditions are settled in the divorce petition and in this petition you can write what the settlement has been organised between the spouses.

The same case for RCR may be converted into case for mutual divorce for which the petition for mutual divorce needs to be filed with a prayer fro conversion.
Dr Anil Kumar Singh (Expert) 06 September 2011
I agree with the experts . You should file written statement with a prayer to convert the RCR Case into case for divorce with mutual consent . You should take care that the terms of settlement of dispute are decided and have the mention of streedahn and permanent alimony along with the maintenance amount if any.
