You have to appoint local advocate to contest the DV case.

DV case can be filled for seeking maintenance for herself and place of residence at the cost of the husband, for that reason the petition under section 12 of the PWDV Act has been filled by your wife.

She can file the DV case, but you may argue upon the maintainability of the case based on the time lag.
You can refute the charges and challenge her case properly

Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 provides format for an application to be made by aggrieved person, what is the relief claimed i.e., u/s 18, 19, 20, 21 or 23 ?
Consult your lawyer if you have already engaged otherwise contact and appoint an able and prudent local lawyer to contest the case(s) slapped on you, you have no escape/ alternative except to accept the challenge willingly.
