My wife has filed 498A at a PS under Barrackpore Court on year 2015. I was in jail for weeks. Thereafter Kolkata high court order to dispose the complaint within one month. On 2015 I was acquitted from the complaint.

On 2017 I got ex-party divorce.

Can I complaint before court to punish her for false 498A complaint against me ?
Is there any limitations period ?
Since competent court dismissed her 498A complaint she should be punished u/s 182 CRPC & 211 CRPC by default.

Please share your valuable advise.

Given facts do not disclosed whether you were acquitted on merit or whether it was only compounding / discharge on technicaly grounds.

This vital fact is important before advising any Govt servant on the issue.

Any suspension / disciplinary action you faced?
