mutual consent like the name suggest is completely between the spouses or the estranged spouses to decide the terms. while it is always advisable to bring to the notice of the court the whole factum but if something is not material for the case it can be avoided. if the wife wants to return then it is safe to take those back after getting a signed agreement from the wife duly notarized about the same. in order to get a case expedited it is advisable to start trying from the trial court by making application for expeditious hearing but if it proves futile then the doors will be ajar in suitable cases under civil revision.
