False Case 498A Belated FIR. Court sets aside such belated FIR

Chandralekha & Ors v state of Rajsthan 14.12.12 JT 2012 (12) SC 390

The upshot of this case is, if after leaving matrimonial home, after several months or years, if wife files belated FIR of cruelty under 498A, the Higher Courts have power to cancel and set aside such FIR as abuse of 498A
