Legally 6 months of reconciliation period is mandatory I trust.

no not possible.6 months compulsory cooling off period from time of filing petition (only sc can waive cooling off period under extraordinary circumstances).by 6th month first motion and in another 6 months second motion during which divorce would be granted

I heard(through my lawyer) a recent judgement from maharashtra HC say  If the couple are separated for a long time, 6 months of reconciliation period can be waived off.But again I am not sure how this citation will help your case since southern courts will not follow/accept Maharastra HC judgements.

 

My lawyer had tried with this citation offline to the judge in my personnel case @ Coimbatore,TamilNadu.Judge didnt accept this and she asked me for similar citations from Chennai HC.

 

May be any experts can throw light on the same.

the mumbai high court has gave the order of waiving off the cooling period of 6 months after going through the family court order in as the couple who filed a divorce case and which was run totally 3 years and the couple vexed and requested the court to consider their petition for mutual consent divorce and also consider to waive off the cooling off period as their divorce petition was since 3 years and high court had considered

here the queriest has not given his details why he separated from his wife and any cases are pending

Adv. Chandrasekhar (Advocate)     30 June 2015

Mumbai HC judgment is wrong in view of the S.C. dictum that only S.C. has got the right to waive off the cooling period under Art. 142 of COI.  Six months wait is mandatory.
