Advocate Mahrukh Khan answered
First find out the exact procedural stageGet certified copies/status of:FIRCharge-sheet, if filedCognizance/summoning order, if anyCurrent case numberOrders passed after 2023Next date and reason for non-progressionThis is important because the remedy changes substantially depending on the stage.2. If you want to resolve it through settlementFor a matrimonial 498A-type case, settlement followed by High Court quashing is often the cleanest route.498A and the other offences may not simply disappear because the complainant says she does not want to continue. A genuine settlement can, however, form the basis for approaching the High Court for quashing under Section 528 BNSS (the successor to Section 482 CrPC). Recent Allahabad High Court decisions in matrimonial matters have continued to quash such proceedings after a voluntary settlement and verification. �Indian Kanoon +2So, practically, your objective should be:settlement → written settlement/compromise → judicial verification → Section 528 BNSS quashing petition → FIR/case quashed.3. How to bring the wife to the negotiation tableDon’t directly threaten her or repeatedly contact her. Instead, through your advocate, send a neutral settlement proposal.The proposal can say that:you are willing to explore an amicable resolution;you do not want prolonged criminal litigation;discussions can take place through advocates/mediator;any settlement will be voluntary;both sides can discuss withdrawal/quashing of all connected proceedings and other mutually agreed issues.
