Conversion of OP to MCD in Lok Adalat
18-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Can Lok Adalat allow for withdrawal of an ongoing OP (in Family Court) and file MCD Petition (or convert the same OP to MCD) and award Divorce on the same day?
[Religion: Hindu]
Yes you may convert the contested divorce OP to mutual consent. It is not suggestible to withdraw the OP but you may covert the OP to mutual consent petition.

hi
only family courts can grant divorces either contested or mutual.
unfortunately lok Adalat do not have power to grant divorce decree.
however if the OP is already being adjudicated at family court for more than 12 months, then both parties can apply for
1) permission to convert OP to MCD.
2) upon court granting permission, both of you should amend the plaint and provide neat copy of plaint so as to reflect the mutual consent divorce as main prayer.
3) courts will be happy to grant MCD within 15 to 30 days of presenting neat copy of amended plaint
