File your reply in the DV case and go for mediation, tell her your options after discussing with your advocate and also get to know what she desires from filing multiple cases. The best way is to find a middle path and get to solution.

Since the DV proceedings are separate from the 498A case, you should appear before the Magistrate, file a detailed written reply, and contest the allegations on merits. If the DV complaint is false or legally unsustainable, consult your advocate about seeking appropriate relief, including quashing in exceptional cases where legally justified.

Since the 498A quashing is pending, contest the DV case by filing a detailed reply with evidence. Seek exemption/discharge for uninvolved relatives, oppose interim relief if false, and pursue quashing if legally maintainable.

Mention that the wife previously lodged an FIR under IPC Sections 498A, 323, 504, and 506 against the husband and six family members. State that the relatives have already approached the Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court by filing a quashing petition, demonstrating that the allegations against them are disputed.
