i think the mediator is not well versed with the procedure adopted by judges of Delhi High Court. the quashing will not be done unless the divorce is granted by the competent court. you need to file an application before the mediator and ask for amendment in the agreement in consonance with the present practise in Delhi High Court. your lawyer is right in asking for divorce papers for quashing.

You do not need divorce papers for quashing of F.I.R. It will be sufficient if you have executed an agreement and first motion has been filed in court. A copy of the agreement should also be filed in the court alongwith the mutual consent divorce petition.
