dear client you can file both cases simultaneously before appropriate authority. there is no barred because both are different from each other. you can have same Advocate as he knows all your case. call me for further advice. thank you.

If you want to claim Maintenance from your Husband or want to file an Application of Right to Shared Household, then it will be best, that, you should file the Criminal Complaint later on. Otherwise, your Husband will not give you the Maintenance + fullfill your Demand of Shared Household if he sees you pursuing Criminal Case against him
