498a Settlement without payment

Hello, I got married to the wrong person. Just after marriage, she logged a false 498a case. The case has been running for almost 4 years now. We have moved to the High court for quashing as well. After 4 years, we have gained our strength to fight and seeing this, the girl's side has become scared and come for settlement. But now they are trying to ask for a huge amount for settling and we cannot pay that much amount. Frankly speaking, we want to continue the proceeding to make her go away without a single penny. For all the sadness and torture she has given us, I don't see it right to give her what she asks. I want to know 1) They have put a memo before the court for settlement, but we don't agree for the amount. Are there cases where settlement has happened by without paying not a single penny? How can I pressurise them to just settle at a very minimum amount? 2) If they don't agree, then how can I move the quashing case forward? What should be my next steps? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
