This is an interesting case. Learned counsel for the petitioner-wife had no information, however, learned counsel appearing for the respondent-husband informed the court that the petitioner and respondent are residing together for the last 2 and 2 ½ years.

The call was connected and we could

make the dialogue with both husband and wife who are living together and they have stated that such living has been for the last two years.
In view of such development, we are of the view that the decree of divorce deserves to be set aside. However, we deem it appropriate that an affidavit be jointly filed by the parties stating that such developments have taken place in the meantime. For the said purpose, four weeks' time is granted.
We direct the parties to appear before the Member Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Rajnandgaon, State of Chattisgarh on any working day and get a proper affidavit, sworn and filed before him. The Member Secretary shall forward the same along with his report to this Court. This exercise may be undertaken within the next four weeks. The copy of this order be sent to the Member Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Rajnandgaon, State of Chattisgarh forthwith for compliance.
List the petition again on 29th April, 2025.
