My in-laws barged into our home in Pune without permission, assaulted my spouse and me, and then took my spouse away against their will. They even filed a false police complaint before leaving for Delhi. We immediately reported the incident to the police and filed an FIR against them. It’s been over two months now, and I’m worried about the outcome. Is there a specific timeframe after which the FIR against my spouse’s family might automatically be dismissed? I’ve asked the police to hold off on any action against them while we try to resolve this matter amicably and see if their claims of domestic violence are genuine.

There is no specific timeframe after which an FIR automatically gets dismissed under Indian law. The investigation will proceed based on its merits and evidence gathered. However, you can file a petition for quashing the FIR if you believe it was filed falsely and the charges against your spouse’s family are baseless.
