498a quashed , what happens next

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 11 July 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Once 498a quashed, what happens to women side? Yet to see the order copy..

Can we say the case is closed?

I presume that now to decide whether to live together or go for divorce?

Experts please comment.

For the moment the husband can ride on the back of the quashing order, but there could be a fresh complaint on the basis of a fresh incident [alleged by the complainant], for whatever it is worth. The decision what you have mentioned is a call which the husband and his family members should take.

Once the high court quashed the proceeding it means that the case has ceased to exist for all practical purposes.
Now she could initiate other proceeding also like under 125 crpc or u/s12 of dv act.
Its you who is the person to decide whether to stay with her anymore or not.

apparently the quashing means the FIR/Criminal Complaint has gone.

wife may initiate other legal proceedings, but prior to taking other step its advisable that the orders passed by the HC/SC be analysed first.

on moral terms its advisable that let there be some compromise between the warring parties....either they shall restart together or shall part away but amicably.
