dear experts,
The same situation happened in my case also, wherein my in-laws came with some people, threatened my mom who was alone in the night. By the time I reached home, my wife fled with them with all jewels, some cash.
My mother did not file any case at that time, because she thought it would strain my & my wife's relationship with her.
Now it has been more than 7 months. Since reunion is getting impossible, can my mother now file criminal intimidation cases against my in-laws? The neighbours have seen them threatening my mother. They threatened my uncle & aunty over phone and when my relatives were with us, they called me, i put the phone on speaker phone and my relatives also heard them threatening me.
I am sure they will file DV & 498a on us to harass us, can my mother now file criminal intimidation case on my in-laws after a gap of 7 months with the help of witnesses?
Is there any time limit for filing criminal intimiation from the date of the incident?
Please advise. Thanks
