Legal Question in Family Law in India

Quashing of FIR

Wife filed complaint under sections 498-A , section 4 of dowry prohibition act against me & my family members. We all are on anticipatiry bail. Police had filed chargesheet in court under same sections.

Meanwhile she also filed petition for divorce under section 13(1) on ground of cruelty. I am ready for mutual consent divorce if she cooperates in quashing of 498-A.

I want to know from learned lawyers that

(1) How to quash FIR and challan ? It is possible in high court only under section 482 or can also be done in lower court in which challan was submiited by police !.

(2) What is procedure of quashing of FIR & Challan? I have to file seprate joint petition along with my wife or ''withdrawn statement'' included in mutual consent divorce petition would be sufficient for quashing.
