In the case of Sunder Babu Vs. State of Tamil Nadu, Hon'ble SC explained the cases under which FIR under section 498A IPC can be quashed. Looking to the facts you have mentioned I think you may try for quashing. File a petition under section 482 CrPC before High Court for quashing the FIR. Further the fact that medical report is not showing anything is no ground for quashing a charge under section 323 IPC, because suppose a person hits only one slap to another, it will not be shown in medical report but if proved by testimony of an eye witness then the accused may be convicted. So fight your case cautiously.

As you narrated the story you have a good chance for quashment. Further what is the stage of 498-A, as this is crucial so take this seriously. You may expedite the proceedings of sec 9, So that things may come closer to conclusion.

the Apex Court in the case of Satish Mehra Vs. State (NCT of Delhi) and another, AIR 2013 SC 506 wherein the Supreme Court had held that the power to interdict a proceeding either at the threshold or at an intermediate stage of the trial is inherent in a High Court on the broad principle that in case the allegations made in the FIR or the criminal complaint, as the case may be, prima facie do not disclose a triable offence, there can be no reason as to why the accused should be made to suffer the agony of legal proceeding. “Thus, such power would be available for exercise not only at the threshold of a criminal proceeding but also at a relatively advanced stage thereof, namely, after framing of charge against the accused.”
