hi in this case you have to approach to the high court for quashing of DV case as per the provisions she has right to file these cases simultaneously but whichever is disposed earlier will be in force and other will be nullified

Both the proceedings are tried as per different acts. Proceedings cannot be get stopped. Only any interim order passed in one application cannot be get repeated with other one. Court is not going to any same order.

both the cases are different... 125 CrPC is purely a maintenance case whereas DV is a sort of criminal case which results in imposing of fine on respondents at the end or dismissing of complaint. A section of DV allows for maintenance to the complainant. Interim maintenance can be granted in both the cases and both the orders are binding upon respondent. None of the proceedings can be stopped but the interim maintenance orders in both the cases can be clubbed by the orders of high court.
