	Dear Experts My wife has filed cases such as 498a dowry act in allahabad HC, DV in Agra court and maintenance in family court. The cases are in WIP stage for more than 6  years. We are living separately for last 6 years and I am giving interim maintenance to her levied under DV act. We have one daughter aged 7 years living with my wife in Agra.  Case 125 had been quashed by court in Agra as she did not use to attend court and court then quashed the case. Thereafter she raised the petition under sec 5 for reopening the case. The case has been reopened by Agra court on 1st week of Feb'21 of this month. I am seeking legal advice from experts shall I go to HC Allahbad for the relief such as stay or quash of 125 based on the false ground she made in her petition. Please give the legal advice how can I safeguard myself from her harrassment. I am also seeking counsellor in Allahabad HC who can get me relief.  Thanks Amit I Aggarwal

@ Amit, 

What do you mean by the abbreviated term used as "WIP" ?

Trail Court can not quash any case, be clear.

Section 5 of which Act has been invoked to restore the case "dismissed in default" ?

What is the opinion and advise of the lawyer engaged /paid for contesting cases on your behalf, who is well aware about facts and circumstances of the case(s) besides the fact s/he is an able, competent and intelligent enough to satisfy your questions?

Why do you need second opinion / advise / obligation based on distorted facts except the fact it is available FREE OF COST?
