Can I file dowry case after 7 years again if already filed once


11-Apr-2023 (In Divorce Law)

If a girl has filed 428a (dowry case) against her husband and in laws before completing 7 years of marriage then can she file the same case again after completing 7 years of marriage under the following three scenarios: 1) she took the case back filing a compromise letter and living with husband but separate from in laws. Also IO didnt find anything meaningful and concrete during investigation. 2) Accused family was found guilty and punished

YES YOU CAN FILE DOWRY CASE SHOWING CONTINUING CAUSE OF ACTION. You have to get the case drafted by a good lawyer and vital offences are to be highlighted. further if the proof of beating at first or second stage is available, you will get a favorable and sympathetic approach from the court as well. Certain lawyers says that no dowry case does not lie after seven years of marriage but that it is a myth and nothing else. Take brave decision and fight with all your might and you will succeed in the case.
