Can complainant reopen her case?

Sir

wife lodged a criminal complaint on 17-09-11 at Kasganj.

Police submitted FR report with xpunz report to Kasganj CJM court on 07-10-11.

Now we agreed on MCD on 30-10-13. She promise me that she will take her criminal case back by giving application to the CJM court in this regard before 01-01-14. (in MCD this promise is written)

My doubts are

once she takes her case back at CJM court, can she again reopen her criminal case after 29-04-14 on session or high court.

Our divorce decree will be given to us on 29-04-14.Can she make an appeal against this MCD on or after 30-07-14?

If both the parites perform their obligations agreed upon in the settlement for mutual consent divorce, then such MCD is not appealable and such closed criminal case is not re-openable. But, you cannot stop any one to file a fresh complaint or file appeal against MCD. But if she does so, both the cases will be quashed.

Appeal against mutual consent divorce is not maintainable.once your wife withdraws the case then she can not reopen the case.she can lodge another complaint on different ground.
