It is only the husband who files the petition for quashing before the High Court as the wife is the complainant but wife is going to be a respondent in the same petition.

the petition for quashing can also be filed on behalf of both, the husband and wife arraying them as Petitioner No. 1 and 2 and impleading state as respondent. in north india as well, this practise is prevalent. after the divorce by mutual consent or compromise for restitution, both the husband and wife can present a joint petition.
