What case was decided in the court? You haven't mentioned details of that case. If the divorce case decided and your husband got it than you can move appeal against it in the High Court. As far your complaint u/s 498a, bigamy etc. Check the status with police where you lodged the complaint. You can get the FIR registered if the police haven't till date done so. After registration of FIR that complaint can proceed.

Hi Ms.Radhika, please find out the result of the case which had been initiated by you and then proceed with the next step.

Family disputes such as divorce, maintenance and child custody are different from criminal proceedings intiated by you agianst your husband and in-laws. Hence you can seperately proceed with family court irrespective of whether criminal case is pending or dispossed of.
