Gurgaon, January 24 Late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan’s son Rahul Mahajan and his wife Shweta were on Thursday directed by a sessions court here to live separately for six months before it will take a decision on their plea for divorce by mutual consent.

District and Session Judge Ramendra Jain directed both of them to appear before the court again on August 1 after a gap of six months.

Citing her husband’s violent behaviour, Shweta in December last year filed a divorce petition in the sessions court. The couple have been living separately for almost a year now, since Shweta moved into her own house at Hi Tech city in Gurgaon.

At the last hearing on December 13, Sessions Judge Jain had asked Shweta to produce a residence proof which is needed for continuing the divorce proceedings in Gurgaon. As she was unable to do so last time, she brought her driving licence to court today as her residence proof.

After knowing each other for 13 years, Rahul and Shweta got married on August 29, 2006, barely four months after the murder of Pramod Mahajan by his younger brother

Rahul’s counsel had earlier moved an application to excuse him from personal appearances in the case, but Jain had dismissed this. Therefore, Rahul came to the court with his counsel, Harish Malhotra, who is handling both the narcotics case registered in Delhi and the divorce case.
