Sir if you have handed over everything to your ex-wife as was mentioned in the MCD petition, then you are not liable to give her or her parents anything more.
If they still try to create problems for you, then you are free to take legal action against them.

if it is divorce by mutual contest, the essence of the said section is that both parties should agree to dissolve their marriage mutually wherein all terms and conditions are agreeable to each other . in case there is a dispute regarding any issue, try to solve it out of court. if you aren't able to settle is outisde court, you convert the petition to a contesting one. in case the divorce is already decreed, they cannot take any action against you as no objection was raised during divorce. if they try to pressurise you, give a written complaint to your nearest police station

If you have a Decree of Mutual Consent and in Consent terms it was clearly mentioned that no claims pending then you need not worry. Talk to them and tell them that no claims are pending and stop harassing you unnecessarily. show them the copy of Decree.
