Hindu Marriage Act, 1955–Sec. 13B(2)–Rejection of application with the view that all the efforts for mediation/conciliation to reunite the parties have not been made–Court below ignored that the counseling had taken place between the parties–Rejection of application by simply observing that the condition has not been fulfilled, is essentially abdication of the duty–It has been clearly observed by the Supreme Court that if the parties have genuinely settled their differences, as the waiting period will only prolong their agony, the period should be dispensed with–These factors were clearly reflected from the application–Impugned order set aside and matter remanded back for deciding afresh.
