when divorce has taken place she can marry anyone. being 498a complaint is no disqualification of marriage.

Complaint u/s 498A IPC and divorce are 2 different cases, which are not interconnected and independent of each other.
After divorce she can and should marry another person, it is not bigamy.

Sir if the client's wife got married but the complaint case of 498-A is still pending how can the husband get relief from its case

Case of 498 A relates to previous conduct of your client. when he was husband.
you defend it on its merits.
494 no more in operation and declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
It is highly advisable that if you are an advocate instead to have faith on lawyers club ready made knowledge you should lean towards books. This platform is better when you exercised your best but still having doubts.

If the wife married another person after the dissolution of her subsisting marriage, then it is not illegal or there is no legal infirmity in it.
The pendency of 498a criminal case is not a bar for her decision for remarriage after her divorce.
