Can someone file a complain under IPC 497 today, after supreme court strike down the section on 27th Sep 2018, for something that happened in past? If the complain was already logged but no hearing had happened than will Magistrate take the hearing or would the case be dismissed.

well, in this case, you or your advocate has to submit this judgment copy before the Magistrate. then this case will be dismissed. you have to bring it before this Magistrate that the SC established by the precedent judgment that S.497 of IPC is Unconstitutional.
