Usually under 498A the police do not arrest unless there is a grave reason to do so. Considering there is also a petition for restitution of conjugal rights the police will be a lot more lenient. That said, sec 9 is only for restitution. If you want divorce with alimony then sec 9 is not the way forward.

Dear Madam, There is no hard and fast rule to file charge sheet within a time limit it may be delayed upto two years also if you did not influence them. It may be referred to mediation as your husband seems filed RCR case. If you did not attend mediation it will be send to Court for regular trial. In the mean while you may file maintenance case to bring pressure on your husband.
