Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

498a case:

Filed in 2003 on a false address of a paying guest and the police officer ( IO) and other witnesses gave evidence that I assaulted her in that false address. The owner of the flat was the defense witness and he deposed in the court and said that my wife never stayed and no assault took place and no mahajer was done. Now in the final judgment all these points are noted but I won on the benefit of doubt. I have incriminating evidence of the statements of the owner of the flat and other RTI replies that there was no PG running there. Can I file a case against the wife and the police and if so can I use IPC 193

The fridge and washing machine etc was taken from my house as wife said it was dowry but I won the interim and now the final custody of articles by producing credit card and other bills. The judgment says � there is nothing to prove that the articles are purchased by the complainant or her parents� . Can I file for defamation and use IPC 193 etc against wife and police?

What is the time limit before I can file the case against them?

Should I file the case against the state or just the witness?
