How to quash FIR and criminal proceeding of 498A cases?

If a false complaint of 498A is filed, it’s best to approach the High Court for quashing the criminal proceedings before the charge sheet is filed. If there is substantial evidence against the wife and it’s clear that the complaint was filed purposely, the court will stay the proceedings and hear arguments from both parties before deciding to quash the case or remand it to the trial court. If a compromise is reached between the husband and wife, the wife should file a consent affidavit in the quashing proceeding before the High Court. The court will record her statement and quash the criminal proceeding against the husband.
