Firstly, you'll have to withdraw your prior petition before mutual divorce can be finalised. Mutual divorce is usually done based on a Settlement Agreement/MOU, wherein all the terms are decided, including withdrawal of any previous petitons and complaints. Only then can you proceed with mutual divorce.

For a mutual consent divorce under section 13 B joint petition by both husband and wife has to be filed under the Hindu Marriage Act before the Family Court having jurisdiction, seeking grant of dissolution of marriage.

A separate MOU needs to be executed wherein the terms of settlement will be penned down.

Dear clinet

In the above conspectus, you’ll need to withdraw the contested divorce filed by you earlier and then move a joint petition for mutual divorce. You need to decide on the settlement terms including the custody prior to filing your first motion. It is advised

The petition on any of the grounds mentioned under section 13 can be converted into one section 13-B by way of amendment, if both the parties mutually agree and sign it. However, the requirements of section 13-B must be fulfilled:
a) parties are living separately
b) one year or more has passed living separately
c) both agree that their marriage should be dissolved
d) petition for divorce should be by both parties
e) the consent should not be withdrawn by either parties within six months or hearing of the case whichever is earlier.
