Looking to the fact of the case, it is very much obvious that he cannot file the case on repetative allegations. Another thing is that you should also execute an agreement on notarized stamp putting up the condition of not filing any other case on any other allegation along with no cliam shall be taken against you.
Adultery pertains to criminal nature if on that particular cause once the criminal proceeding is withdrawn on whatever ground then it can't be restored and the accused can't be prosecuted again.
Conclusively you can be prosecuted again for the same cause or withdrawn proceeding.
hence case can't be refiled again.
Conclusively you can be prosecuted again for the same cause or withdrawn proceeding.
hence case can't be refiled again.
Yes, If he withdraws his complaint based on whatever reasons then he cannot file the same based on same cause of action. But in these two years if again you get involved again then he will also get right to file adultery against you and his wife.
