No, this not valid divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act,1955. If all sort of stupidity happening in Gujarat by so-called notaries then expecting that as valid legal process, that's not so. Better get Decree of divorce from the Family Court for Hindu Marriage, after that only think of remarriage under the Special Marriage Act,1954.
