False case after 2yrs of decree

We have been divorced around 2yrs back and during the last hearing we had exchanged all the things and i returned her jewellery in front of the counselor and signatures were also taken after identification and the decree was granted then. Now she has filed a false case after 2yrs saying that the Jewellery is fake just to harass me. Is this permissible in court? What should I do now?

Honestly  face  the  case you are  with  clean hands  as you  returned  all jewels.

She  has to prove  that  the  jewels are guilt or fake. Court may ask to test  the  jewels in a BS certified Jewellry. She has  to pay the  cost  for the  testing. Unless she  prove her  allegations, you need  not to worry.

possible for her to claim the jewels were fake even after two years, but success depends on proving the claim, as there's a legal time limit to bring such cases.

However her ability to succeed depends on whether she can prove her claim with evidence, which is difficult given the passage of time and the exchange being mediated by a counselor.

 The exchange of items in front of a counselor suggests an agreed-upon settlement, and a claim of fraud after two years will require strong proof from her. 

Courts consider circumstantial evidence, which includes the facts and circumstances surrounding the item's exchange. The presence of a counselor at the exchange is a strong piece of evidence supporting the legitimacy of the transaction.

Her father is a very corrupt retired govt servant who has alot of influence and always tries to do lick the feet of many people to get his work done. Typical Govt Employee. 

Plus they might have got the duplicate jewellery done themselves in these 2yrs as well to trouble me.

They have a jealousy that I got out of this so easily and they had to pay me some reverse alimony as well as I had all the proofs against them as they did all the cash transactions everytime and I relied on Credit Cards or Online transactions.

Court should dismiss the case instead of entertaining such false claims.

Can I file a reverse case of harassment or defamation types against her for alleging me wrongly in court?

The case(s) is / are between ex-couple where influence / intervention of her father is immaterial.

When you have already settled all property issue, as stated by  you, contest it tooth and nail though a local prudent lawyer, which she may not be able to prove. If the allegation(s) remained not proved you can go for defamation against her.

The exchange had been done in July 2021 in front of the Counselor when the decree was granted. Even we both had signed on it and also the Counselor. Even the judge had asked about all this and then he granted the Decree.

And she put up a case about fake jewellery in October 2023 by certifying it from a Jewellery shop. (as per them)

A jeweller certificate is  not an evidence.

The  certificate of  purity  Tobe obtained  from  BIS approved AHC 

Testing  centres.refer BIS hall mark website  to find  approved  Testing  centres  in your  location.

But still after 2yrs can't they themselves make fake jewellery and show such certificate?

We gave them Jewellery with trust in front of the Counselor which was the same we had kept in the locker post marriage.

Now they are playing such stupid tricks to harass us.

What is the case filed by your ex-wife ? What is the opinion and advise of your lawyer on the issue ?

Whatsoever, any such case, as posted by you, is not maintainable in law. Contest it, if you get a Court notice / summon.

is it really the case that that the allegation was made 2 years after it was handed over? If not, when it was handed over?

An when has the complaint been lodged? Where has the case been filed?

The Divorce Decree was granted in July 2021 and the Jewellery was given that day itself in front of the Counselor.

She filed a case in the Court in Mar 2025 that the Jewellery is fake. Cooked up a big story saying that she kept Jewellery in Cupboard and dint see it for 2yrs as it was Bad omen as per her. And one fine day she thought of selling it and found out that it was fake. In the allegations she has mentioned stupid things like we hide the Gold in the Walls of the home and she insisted we keep her Jewellery in the Locker. Her Father is a big corrupt education officer in Mumbai Municipal Corporation, so obviously that allegation must be her Father's doings.

I want an opinion what should I answer now. I consulted one Friends Mom who advised that you have returned the Jewellery so just be firm that you returned the Jewellery which she gave to us in front of the Counselor. That's it. Moreover I feel the Decree once granted and all the Liabilities finished how can she go against the Court order and file a case about all such crap?

Let the Court decide the issue. it is unncessary that you speculate over the issue.

I am also thinking of Contesting it.

But the allegations she made is about the Divorce reason many of which are false and when the Divorce was granted through Mutual Divorce how can she mention such things in the Affidavit in court after 2yrs of granting divorce?

Her allegations about fake jewellery should not stand in the Court of Law, but my question is should I also file a Defamation case or like against her for putting wrong allegations against someone and harming his reputation in front of the Court by such false allegations?

P. Venu (Advocate)     23 September 2025

You can contemplate on seeking compensation damages or any other remdy after the Court gives its decision on the complaint she has filed.
