Yes, a case under Section 498A of IPC can be filed anytime. The police can register the case if there’s evidence of dowry harassment or domestic violence, irrespective of the time passed. However, evidence and witnesses will be crucial for the case's progress. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
