After signing mutual consent and the decree was to be passed but it was withdrawn stating that this petition does not come under Mumbai Jurisdiction and the respondent stated that she was unknown about the fact on what she has signed. This mutual consent was signed after the legal procedures. but the responsent advocate did not give a reply to our petition. on that basis this consent was passed. I would like to known whether underthis ciscumstances can the case be dismissed or the decree be cancelled.

Dear Friend,
First you provide me all the facts then I will tell you to do in the case.
Re: divorce
If the decree is already passed then the same can be challenged in court of law by way of declaratory suit.However, consent can be withdrawn at any stage,so if the wife has withdrawn the consent before signing the her statement in court then court may dismiss the petition on this ground.In case of need you may contact with details. Professional charges are applicable.

If the consent is withdrawn within the period stipulated by law which is six months from the date of filing of the petition, or before such date as may be fixed by the court after the petition is filed and statements of parties are recorded initially, no decree can be passed.
