The acquittal in a 498A prosecution does not bar the filing of a fresh criminal complaint for 498A during the subsistence of matrimony. It seems that a fresh case under 498A may have been filed by the wife of your friend, so your friend should apply for and obtain AB and then appear before mahila ayog. Tell him to engage a lawyer to find out which case has been filed against your friend.

Themaila ayog as the name suggests, it is no surprise if they act at the behest of that lady in a biased manner.

They will understand the law nor they will be inclined to listen to any plea nor they will understand the situation or the motive of the lad making a complaint.

Mahila ayog is not an authority to decide on such issues,

If at all she has any grievance against his act of bigamy she has to approach police and not mahila ayog.

Let your friend attend the mahila ayog, give his explanation and deny to accept her or her allegations, if the aayog still insists favoring the woman, ask them to go ahead, which can be challenged in the court accordingly.

The long pending divorce case will help him to tide over the present crisis.

kindly give meaning for FIT, and whether he'll appear in mahila ayog alone or with advocate, secondly how he'll prove that bigamy and desertion given by his wife is false.

There is no provision for women commission to register FIR, hence need not worry about it.

The bigamy and desertion offences have to proved by her and not your friend.

The matter can be challenged in the court only because the women welfare commission will not listen to men.
