CAW cell is a pre FIR stage wherein the CAW Cell acts as a conciliatory body and tries to resolve the dispute between husband and wife through counselling. Basically they just force the husband to agree to demand of the wife and if the dispute can’t be resolved then the counselling fails the same gets converted into an FIR. Moreover, your wife has all the rights to file case before court simultaneously along with the complaint before the CAW cell. In such cases wives normally do file court case under the Domestic Violence Act wherein they usually demand money/maintenance from the husband

Yes , Your wife can file case of maintenance against you during the pendency of this CAW Cell case. If this case at CAW cell is not sorted out and no conclusio comes then CAW Cell will transfer this case to mahila court. There you would have to appear and contest .

We have perused the contents of Your query and Would advise you to seek a detailed consultation from a lawyer. So far proceedings before CAW is concerned, it does not create any bar upon your spouse from seeking legal remedies before the court of LAW. She can file litigations against you and your family. Certain legal remedies you can also avail so do seek a Consultation
