Sir,
Son-in-law after torturing wife after wedding, kicked her out under critical health condition with empty handed and snatching her all jewelery on not meeting dowry demand.
Immediately he terrorized by dragging her family to police station for inquiry.Police let them free but son-in-law registered complaint at police station including criminal charges against them that they looted his house and took away all valuables including those belonging to him. This was all bogus.Many years have passed but wife-side did not face police action nor they received any letter from police.However son-in-law did send a legal notice attached with the copy of police complaint.Even she has not initiated any divorce paper nor she got any summon or notice from husband side for the same in past many years.
Now she feels relieved from cruel husband as she came to know about his ex parte divorce on the ground of 'wife not found' and about his happy life with second wife.
But Now, wife's family is worried to clear the false charges made at police station, as they are criminal in nature.Should they file defamation case for this purpose ?

If the charges are blatantly false then go for quashing. The pleading in the divorce suit may give some light. The wife can also bring charges against him if there is such cause of action.

Has the complaint been registered?
Most likely, it has not been registered from the details you have given. If it was pending, surely there would be some action from the PS.
Husband is happily married now. Wife is living peacefully. Dont have un-necessary fears. Nothing will happen. Apply for a certified copy of the divorce if you want and keep it for your records. Ask the wife to have a good life at least now. Don't dig up buried corpses. This matter looks dead to me.
If you are harassed again by the husband, then approach women's commission, file police complaints, challenge the exparte divorce, and do what you want to satisfy your ego.
