Hello,

1) In fact as you file for divorce on mutual consent there is an undertaking that there are no cases civil or criminal existing in any other courts.Therefore ideally you both should jointly move High Court on basis of the consent for divorce to get the 498A case quashed.

2) Now if the wife's backing out after obtaining divorce you can move a quash petition yourself citing the mutual consent petition and the decree as that would prove that the 498A case has already been compromised.

3) Therefore it is advisable to proceed with the mutual consent divorce petition as you have the alternative to file for quashing all by yourself in case your wife back tracks.

If she categorically undertakes to cooperate in quashing after getting divorce then the high court Will quash the proceeding even if she doesn't come forward for the same.

So you can go ahead though quashing before divorce is preferable.

It is not safe as your wife may refuse to honour her promise after getting mutual divorce, in which event you will be left to fend for yourself. It will be difficult to have it quashed in unilateral proceedings.

Whether or not, it is you who has got file a petition under section 482 cr.p.c. for quashing the case filed under section 498a IPC. She will be sent a notice by the court to seek her opinion or objection to it. She may, on an affidavit state that owing to the out of compromise as well as the divorce through MCD, she is not pressing her complaint for which the petitioner has approached this Honorable court seeking the relief of quash. This is one step, another step is to ask her to become hostile witness by filing a memo of compromise before the trial court and the court after hearing IO shall dispose the case as either dismissed or acquitted. The latter one may be bit comfortable, you can opt either of it.

Well about going for quash after 2nd motion depends on the reliability of her version, you can decide based on the history of events took place between you two so far.

Get a settlement executed mentioning all the terms and if she fails to file quashing then you can do that where she will appear on court notice.

Yes, it is safe, without completion of second motion, the High court will not pass an quashed order.

if she is not going to quash the FIR then you may raise a voice before the court if the matter had settled before mediation or if the matter had settled through MOU.

on the terms and condition of settlement the divorce will be completed and if she will not follow the same then the divorce can be dismissed and declare null and void.
