Yes without the petition your fir will not be quashed and tge matter would be kept pending which can hamper your reputation.

State very clearly in the petition the money you are giving time of giving. Deposit the money with the court through a DD.

The money would be returned to the party in case tge negotiations do not materialise. You should do it before the MCD. Yeah it can be done before the MCD.

One of the parties has to go to the court on the behalf of others Nd give a statement before the court that they have settled.

1. Yes for 498 A it's required. 

2. They can do that. In your consent terms record that only after quashing wife can remove money deposited in court by you

The accused should file for quashing 

2) money would be paid to them only after FIR is quashed by HC 

3) you should get refund of money in case wife refuses to cooperate for quashing and does not appear in court 

4) petition can be notarised from your home state 

If you would like to get out of the case then you may have to file the quash petition but she may have to appear before court to express her no obligation by filing an affidavit in person before high court. 

For withdrawing the deposit amount from court you may have to give NOC to her 

The court will not accept the deposit without any petition seeking permission for some specific purpose.

In that case,  if the opposite party violates the condition they cannot withdraw the amount 

The procedure is common throughout. 

Your father as your power agent has to be present before court. 

Dear Client,

Yes, the accused should file the quash petition in this case.

Thank You.

You've not stated as to in which case have you been declared PO as that would enable us to advice you better. Still, to answer your queries :

1. Quashing of all three i.e. 498a, PO and DV are possible. But assuming that here you are referring to quashing of PO, yes the accused would need to file for quashing of PO, as anticipatory bail is not possible in PO cases, therefore quashing of PO is the only solution.

2. Generally such money is not deposited in the court except in cases where the court orders such an amount to be deposited in certain suits. An MoU is a mutual agreement, and the court is the judicial custodian but has no role to play in accepting and depositing such payments in the court for payout at a later stage. Although since the MoU would now be in the court, so the other party would ideally fulfill their written and signed commitment, but the risk that the opposite party might oppose the quashing would be there as there is no guarantee that they would honor their commitment. But even if they backout, they would not be able to get any money.

3. As already mentioned above, in such cases no money is deposited in the court.

4. As per the general law, quashing of PO is definitely possible before MCD.

5. You would need to provide a Special Power of Attorney to your father authorizing him to file the quashing on your behalf. Your father would need to appear personally in the Mumbai High Court to file the application for quashing of your PO.
