Time frame for filling domestic voilence

Hi ,

My Wife Has Left My Home on 19 Jan 2013 And She Has Filled Domestic Violence Case On 15 Feb 2014 as she has already mentioned same in Maintenance Case ( crpc125 ) that she has left in Jan 2013.

I just want to know that can she filled the case after 1 year as i have some doubt that the domestic violence case can be filled within 1 year , also can she filled the case against my Mother.

Also When i seen the case status i found stage process to opponent


Thanks
