You can apply for Quashing of the complaint and all other cases by filing the 482 petition. You will not only need all the settlement documents but also the reports of the courts. Is it recorded in the settlement that she is willing to withdraw all complaints? if not then you will need additional documentation to support your petition.

Dear Sir,
If charge sheet is filed and charges are framed you have no option to get 498A case quashed. Your wife must come to the Trial Court and say that the matter is settled out of Court as such you may be acquitted. Otherwise she may remain absent and court may close the prosecution case and acquit you.
