File petition u/s 13 of Hindu Marriage Act before the family coutr having jurisdiction, where your marriage was solemnised or both of you lived together last.
Seven years seperation is a reasonable cause for decree of divorce.

yes, Mr. Kamal Naraya is absolutely right. Seven years of separation is a sufficient ground for getting a decree of divorce.

Well, it is legal phenomena i want to bring to the notice of lwyers club.
Divorce deed- at certain places i have seen the people take mutual consent divorce on the basis of personal agreement called divorce deed. Off course it is not legal, but it works. What varun has made in form of agreement is divorce deed. The other party is advertising for marriage- they are convinced that divorce is final.
Why not allow them to proceed with their new marriage, and then apply for divorce- based on desertation and second marriage- you will get legal divorce soon.
Actually such things shows failure of legal process- when people stop believing that law can be a good dispute resolving process.

The divorce deed you have mentioned might have a clause that the parties to the same are living separately and that they are intending to live separately from that day onwards so relying on the same you can prepare a petition.

Yes Mr. Varun,
As Mr. Rajesh suggested, its right that you have not gained a Legal Divorce through the said agreement.
You said approach for legal divorce in the competant court of law and the said agreement would help you.
