My wife had filed false 498-A case against me in 2010, and once the trial began her parents and she turned hostile. Stating she filed complaint in anger and there was no truth in her complain.
I have been acquitted in January 2012,my question is can I file a case against her and her parents for falsely implicating me and my family in 498 A?

You can file case for damages out of malicious prosecution.
The acquittal however is not sole reason for success of your case.

No doubt you can file for damages but I suggest you to forget the bitter chapter and now look for future life.
