Yes, a divorce petition can be filed after reconciliation of a divorced marriage, provided fresh grounds are available on which divorce can be sought.
Therefore, if there are any fresh grounds after reconciliation, on which divorce can be sought under the provisions of the law, then a fresh divorce petition is not barred under law. The principle of res judicata is not applicable, strictly speaking, to divorce matters, as there could be completely fresh grounds giving a fresh cause of action. However, it would all depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case, though there is no legal bar.
