A criminal case can not be filed again and again. one case is enough , if there is evidence.

yeah, any wife can file 498 A complaints whatever number of times she wishes. Laws favour the woman. and all luxury is there for them. So if you want to live long, and if you are not a stupid; you should avoid the re-entry of wife into your home by any means after she files 498A first time only. Who guarantees..she can again go wild? be safe dear.
