law: Indian Divorce Act, 1869 
  17. Confirmation of decree for dissolution by District 
  
  Judge 
  Every decree for dissolution of a marriage made by a District
  
  Judge shall be subject to confirmation by the High Court.
  Cases for confirmation of a decree for dissolution of marriage
  
  shall be heard (where the number of the Judges of the High Court is three or
  
  upwards) by a court composed of three such Judges, and in case of difference,
  
  the opinion of the majority shall prevail, or (where the number of the Judges
  
  of the High Court is two) by a court composed of such two Judges, and in case
  
  of difference, the opinion of the Senior Judge shall prevail.
  The High Court, if it thinks further enquiry or additional
  
  evidence to be necessary, may direct such enquiry to be made, or such evidence
  
  to be taken.
  The result of such enquiry and the additional evidence shall be
  
  certified to the High Court by the District Judge, and the High Court shall
  
  thereupon make an order confirming the decree for dissolution of marriage, or
  
  such other order as to the Court seems fit:
  PROVIDED  that no decree shall be confirmed under this
  
  section till after expiration of such time, not less than six months from the
  
  pronouncing there of, as the High Court by general or special order from time
  
  to time directs.
  During the progress of the suit in the court of the District
  
  Judge, any person suspecting that any parties to the suit are or have been acting
  
  in collusion for the purpose of obtaining a divorce, shall be at liberty in
  
  such manner as the High Court by general or special order from time to time
  
  directs, to apply to the High Court to remove the suit under section 8, and the
  
  High Court shall thereupon, if it thinks fit, remove such suit and try and
  
  determine the same as a court of original jurisdiction, and the provisions
  
  contained in section 16 shall apply to every suit so removed: or it may direct
  
  the District Judge to take such steps in respect of the alleged collusion as
  
  may be necessary, to enable him to make a decree in accordance with the justice
  
  of the case.
