District and session Judge Ramendra Jain granted them divorce after both the parties mutually agreed on the move.

"It was mutually decided by both the parties to seek divorce," their advocates told media-persons in Gurgaon. Rahul and Shweta, who together completed their flying course abroad, were married on August 29, 2006.

Shweta had appeared before the court on December 13, last year and sought divorce by mutual consent as per section 13(B) of the Hindu Marriage Act. However, the court had said that consent would only be granted when both the parties appeared before it.
