This query is : Resolved
I filed a criminal complaint against my husband as he hide his first marriage to someone before marrying me.
In response we entered into an agreement that he will pay Rs. 30k PM to me till he completes Rs. 30 lakhs. That agreement was recorded in courts of MM in Saket, Delhi.
I withdrew all my criminal complaints against him after this agreement.
He just gave 2 months maintenance and after that for the last 8 months he has stopped that.
Now i have came to Bihar to my parents.
Can i again complain against him in Bihar OR i have to go back to Delhi or what can i do now.

You can file case in Bihar also but the same would be afresh case.
The compromise can not be enforced any more.

If you wish to pursue the compromise, you will have to continue in the earlier court only.

Yes, as suggested it is better you approach the same court which finalised the stated agreement.
