hi you could file a discharge petition for your mother and yourself but it would be done in rarest cases then for your mother and you could file quash petition in high court and also dispense with appearance in court

Hello Sir, At present you can't file a Discharge Petition (239 Cr.P.C). Discharge Petition must be filed before framing of charges only. After the examination of Accused, it is not possible to file a Discharge Application. At Present, you can file an application under Rule-37 CRP or u/sec 207 Crpc for attendance Dispense. or you may file Quash Petition in HighCourt, there you may get Stay or Attendance Dispense.
