Neither you nor your wife can be prosecuted under the NI Act, under the circumstances mentioned by you. If your wife has received the summons in the case, the must have been numbered, therefore she needs to attend the Court but if there is sufficient time to file a case your wife needs to file a Criminal Petition under section 482 Criminal Procedure Code before the Hon'ble High Court and ask for quashing the case pending before the lower Court and pending disposal of such Petition she can ask the High Court to dispense with her presence before the lower Court.
