Can I take any legal action against my wife and her parents for filing malicious litigation for divorce?

Can I take any legal action against my wife and her parents for filing malicious litigation for divorce? My wife left me and went to London on a student visa. Before leaving, she wanted to obtain a divorce by mutual consent, and we signed an agreement under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. However, in court, I stated that I did not want a divorce and that my wife and father-in-law had pressured me into signing the agreement. During the final arguments, my wife filed a withdrawal petition, and the case was dismissed.

Subsequently, I filed a suit in the family court seeking a declaration under Section 7 and Specific Relief Act 34 that the agreement was null and void. The judgment was declared ex-parte in my favor. Now, I am seeking advice on what legal action can be taken against my wife and her parents.
