Firstly there is no provision to file divorce petition by mutual consent in two different Court under Hindu marriage act. You and your husband, both have to file divorce petition in same court within whose local jurisdiction from the last 6 months respondents reside at the time of presentation of petition, or where where marriage was soleminzed, or where both parties last reside togather.
You have to file it in the same court and be heard before one judge. I strongly suggest to pick one court and file the petition for mutual consent divorce under section 13-B of Hindu Marriage Act. The decree will be passed 6 months from the date of filing.
Firstly Divorce by Mutual Consent can be filed in any one court where the marriage was solemnized or where both parties lastly resided together or where the wife stays. Further both of you will have to institute the petition in the family court and you will have to attend counselling and verification before judge. Thereafter 6 months later date will be given wherein your final consent will be obtained and decree will be pronounced.
