Even if different views have been taken by wife in the ongoing litigation even then if no false affidavit has been filed, no petition seeking initiation of action against her under the provisions of section 340 Cr. P. C. can be filed. You can take benefit in the litigation about her changed stands but 340 Cr. PC is attracted only if some false affidavit/false fact is agitated before the concerned court.

Wait till she testify in the 498A case as thereafter you could file 340 crpc petition in either of the courts.

Divorce case is civil nature you cannot use sec 340 of Cr.P.C. in divorce case. U can use different stories written in sec 498a

YOU CAN NOT USE SECTION 340 IN DIVORCE CASE.

you can file an application u/s 340 CrPC in divorce proceedings as well but you have to prima facie satisfy the Judge that the girl has made false statement on affidavit which is receivable as evidence in Court.
