Quick Summary

If a husband is discharged in 498A and 406 cases due to insufficient evidence, it's possible to appeal orders made under Section 125 and the DV Act, even if the girl's statements differ across cases. While acquittal in a criminal case doesn't automatically mean no maintenance is due, contradictory statements can be used in further appeals. If the appeal period for the criminal case has passed, a suit for malicious prosecution might be an option. It's crucial to consult a local lawyer to assess the specific facts and documents for the best course of action.

The standard of evidence in Criminal case under section 498A/406 IPC and the maintenance cases are entirely different as the reliefs differ so merely acquittal in criminal case ipso facto do not conclude that the wife is not entitled for the grant of the maintenance allowance or the reliefs which she has been provided with under 125 Criminal Procedure Code and DV Act Case.

Though you have not posted the detailed facts without which it is difficult to presume the grounds of providing the reliefs under DV Act case and 125 Cr. PC and the criminal case but it is certain that it is the liability of the husband to maintain his wife he she is unable to maintain herself even if husband has been got acquitted in the criminal case.

If the statements of the complainant in the mentioned all 3 cases is contradictory then definitely its benefit can be taken by filing further appeal in the decided cases by bringing on record the said statements and the judgment passed in criminal case so that the desired benefit may be sought.

If the period for filing the appeal has passed in the criminal case and still no appeal has been filed then the husband can definitely file a suit seeking compensation for the malicious prosecution given the contradictory statements and the acquittal in criminal cases based upon those statements.

The case under various provisions of law are for various reliefs as provided in that particular law.
They are different subject to each other.
The dismissal of 498A case cannot force the court to decide the 125 cr.p.c. maintenance case in favor of the boy just because the pleadings in both the cases are similar in nature, however you must understand the difference between them is that the relief sought in both the cases are different to each other.
So you may have to challenge each case on its own merits
