The Bombay High Court on Wednsday Requested The Family Court to Decide (IPL) Cricket Tournament.

The IPL T20 Cricket Tournament is Scheduled to Start from March 22. Chahal is part of the Punjab Kings Team.

The HC on Wednsday also waived the six-month cooling period stipulated for every couple after filing of the divorce plea under the Hindu marriage act.

The Cricketer and Verma Had Filed A Joint Petition Before The HC, seeking that the cooling-off period be wailed in their case as they have applied for divorce by mutual consultant.

The petition, filed through Advocate Nitin Gupta, Had also Prayed for a Direction to the Family Court to Decide the Divorce Petition Expeditious.

The couple challenged the Family Court Order of February 20 refusing to waive the cooling-off period.

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, a Couple has to Undergo Six-month cooling-of Period Beffore Divorce is Granted. The objective is to provide time for exploring the passibility of reconciliation.

The Family Court Had Refused to Waive the cooling-of period on the ground that there was only partial compulsion with the consent terms which required chahal to pay Rs 4.75 Crower to Dhanashree.

He Had Paid Rs 2.37 Crore, The Family Court Noted. It also also cited a report of a marriage counselor which said there was only partial compliance with the mediation efforts.

But the High Court on Wednsday Held that there was compliance with the consent terms, as they provided for the payment of the second Installment of Permanent Alimony only after the decision of divreege of divs.
