Yes the divorce case can be converted into mutual divorce case if both the parties file a petition u/s 13B of HMA.
However there would be no respite from the 6 months time frame as that is a mandatory provision.

Why you asking for the rullings if you are an advocate than you can share it by your identification and if you are not an advocate than your advocate have charged from you for solving your problems. do it is his duty to search for the authority.
