When once you file 498A and seek maintenance from your husband, the relationship between you & your husband will not be cordial and it may or may not end in divorce.

No. It's just temporary relief. Filing 498a and seeking does not constitute ground for divorce. Even after filing suit for maintenence and 498a you can contest the divorce petition.
