Anybody can file a case against anybody on any allegation/ground. Nobody can be stopped from bring a case.
But, based on facts and merits one has to put up a successful defence.

The police may not register the FIR againt the husband and inlaws after 3 years of divorce. However, depending upon the allegations made, if the offence is registered then, go for quashing of FIR or fight it out on merit.

You have not mentioned whether there remained any contact between the two after divorce for abetment to suicide or some other evidence existed. However, in the above circumstances fully agree with the expert Adv. Archana ji.

FIR should not be registered against husband and relative after 3 years of dissolution of marriage as there is no role of them for the abatement of sucide. If she was really have mental agony then why not she commited sucide just after divorce or during within 3 years. She commited sucide due to her own family abatement. So if FIR is registered then go for quashing u/s 482 of cr.pc
