What is the procedure for quashing 498a case


28-Nov-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I have been alleged with a false 498a case from my heartless wife. I filed divorce and she filed 498a. In charge sheet wife, her father, mother, uncle indicated that I took her from Mumbai on 25 Mar 2016 to kanchipuram and with 5 family members then to chennai on the same day ( used exactly these words) and beaten up her in her street and their street witnessed the same and my family members spoke foil language on her family. But they added 3 witness which they sate that on 26 Mar 2016 saw the above incident as sated. And seeing assault I made on her as they alleged was at Mumbai in home that I beaten up her violently and thrown out of her home with my daughter in the night asking for dowry. But no witness added nor till today no complaint register against me in Mumbai. chennai police allowed adding this allegations in charge sheet. Isn't jurisdiction is not valid for these chennai police also without anything they just added this story of her? Please advise can I quash chargesheet.
