Is dowry demand compoundable on condonation

Ld advocates,

Husband demands dowry, wife files a restitution petition to live with husband but later wife came to know that husband commited fraud she withdrew the restitution petition before family court and files a criminal complaint.

Does these events mean wife condoned dowry demand and hence husband cannot be prosecuted for dowry demand. even if prosecuted will this condonation raise any reasonable doubt in acquitting the husband.

Please give your expert views.

No. Both are different proceedings.. Surely the husband can be prosecuted under dowry prohibition case. The wife withdrawn her RCR. Its nothing favour to husband nothing demerits to the wife.
