Legal Question in Family Law in India

My husband had filed an RCR. I went to my parents' place for delivery and did not go back to by husband's place after my delivery due to all the harassment my my husband, both physical and mental harassment. I have not filed any complaint till now. But now that my husband has filed an RCR can I make a complaint for the previous harassment by my husband. It has been more than a month since he last harassed me. Will it be acceptable if I complain now?

Also, I came across a post that once the husband files an RCR, any dowry harassment or maintenance against him will not be applicable. And also that any dowry harassment case should be filed within 48 hours of the girl coming out of the house and should also have medical proofs on injury.

Can I ask for a protection order? Should that be filed separately?

Will the RCR petition against me be dismissed on grounds of cruelty by my husband? I only have proofs but no complaints in any any local police station against him.
