I along with my family members are acquitted in 498a case on 3rd Jan 2018. We thought that we got justice after under going the trauma for last 6 years. After 71 days, The complainant has filed an affidavit and requested the court to allow her to appeal giving the reason that she was sick. But we understand that she was working in a government school during that period. So the reason stated in the affidavit is wrong. Now court has sent the information to us that such a request has come to them. Now what shall be our action to protect us from further torture. In meantime, they have filed another case (Domestic violence) in the lower court. Please advise us.

If the complainant has filed false affidavit and you can collect/produce evidence for the same she can be punished, however, consult your lawyer who has sailed you through.
