498A case entered hearing stage after 15 years of filing
30-May-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I need your advice on a false 498A case filed by my estranged wife in the year 2014 and it has entered hearing on 2025. I got to know that she is now married and have no intentions to pursue this case. We got divorced in the year 2017. What should be my next step. I don't want to wait another 5 years for the case to complete. Please advice.
The matter can be closed, but there are multiple steps involved in it. Since 498a is an criminal proceeding it would not end just on her remarrying and on divorce , but the terms of divorce and the kind of proofs given before the court of law is a crucuial point to look into.

Yes there is a remedy available for you. As your wife has already been married to someone else the continuation of 498-A case is of no use, and is only a harrassment. Further, because your wife is willing to end the case and to lead independent lives in future, the remedy available is, to file a mutual petition before the High Court for quashing of the ongoing criminal proceedings. After both the parties file a quashing petition before the high court to end the 498-A case, after hearing both the parties and after arriving at a decision that the wife is not willing further to continue the case, he High court will quash the criminal proceedings.

haven't you engaged an advocate? pls engage your advocate who will give you the best advice in your case. It is not appropriate to give proper advice without knowing the current status of the case. In criminal case your presumption of fact & circumstances is immaterial. so better to hire a local advocate.
