She has extra marital affairs, but he failed to collect evidence, by knowing this he cannot take her back, can he file a new petition after some time instead of going to hc immediately?

Fresh divorce case can only be filled if new facts and circumstance exists and for that one has to wait. The evidence that were not brought on record by the party in previous divorce case can be brought on record of the court in fresh divorce case along with fresh evidence on the new facts and circumstance.

Okay thanks Vijay Raj, he has few fresh evidences which are not filed by his lawyer, but she took advantage of those and won the case, usually what will be the waiting period to file fresh divorce petition?

If you can manage to allege a ground of cruelty which might have taken place immediately after the dismissal of the divorce petition , you may do so right away . The time period you should appropriately wait depends on the nature of allegations in the fresh petition
