When this Court examines the order dated 29.01.2026, one fact comes out very loud and clear that at no point of time the courts below ever made an effort to have a reconciliation which is always a first call to be taken in any matrimonial litigation. This effort was much expected from the superior court of Additional Session Judge, Baramulla and it is very painful to observe that even Additional Session Judge, Baramulla didn’t deem it appropriate to first ever an effort invested and seeing that the petitioner and the respondent as husband and wife are made to understand that a litigation on any form in whatsoever between the two is going to leave as a winner and that the marital life is going to further worsen instead of getting repaired. At this stage, this Court is not inclined to grant any interference in the matter without going to cause any prejudice to the petitioner. 06. This petition is disposed of at this very stage with a direction to the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class (Sub Judge), Pattan to undertake an immediate exercise for reconciliation between the petitioner and the respondent keeping in view the purported agreement which the petitioner refers in the present petition to have arrived between the petitioner and the respondent aiming to settle the strained relationship of the two. An exercise on this part be taken by Judicial Magistrate 1st Class (Sub Judge), Pattan, within a period of next two months in the course of the dates of hearing fixed in the case and the outcome of said reconciliation exercise to be put into order whether successful or failure, whereupon this Court leaves scop for the petitioner to come for the sake of challenging the outcome of his revision petition which has suffered dismissal from the court of Additional Session Judge, Baramulla. 07.
