What is 6 month Cooling off Period?
Law specifically provided six months gap or waiting period between First Motion and Second Motion. Prior to 2009, compliance of six months waiting was not mandatory. But, in 2009, Supreme Court made it mandatory and took away the power of the Family Court or the District Court to waive of period of six months. But, the Supreme Court still has power to waive of the period of six months.
The six months period can be waived by concerned family Court upon filing an Application for waiver of six months. Family Court in Delhi has discretion to waive of the period. Thus, time period of six months can be waived off and may be reduced to as little as 15 days or a month or so.
