fir quashed years ago; can issues be re-opened?


09-Oct-2023 (In Criminal Law)
10 years ago, an FIR under section 498A/406/34 was quashed because wife and husband settled their divorce with mutual settlement which included wife withdrawing her criminal complaints. High Court granted quashing based on mutual settlement. Can anyone re-open this case by claiming that wife originally made a false claims in her criminal complaint? The FIR was quashed because of mutual settlement 10 years ago and the settlement did not include any language that complaints were false

The issues can be re-opened by filing Application in the Court, they will have to satisfy the Court when the case needs to be reopened.
Will have to review the timeline of the case and terms of settlement.
Also, the purpose of of opening the case again after ten years.
