If you do not remain present, the trial court can not acquit you on the basis of testimony of your wife.

Even the high court in the case of consensual quashing insists for presence of both the parties.

You want to get case disposed without your presence ? is it ?

Ans: 498a is non-compoundable so the trial has to be completed. Let the evidence of your wife be over and other witnesses' too if the prosecution tenders.Next stage would be for 313 Cr.P.C but from this date you shall have to remain present. Alternatively You may move High Court directly on the ground of compromise and for quashing where your presence may not be insisted.

I would like to say same as Shri Prabhakar Singh.
ajay sethi (Expert) 27 October 2011
agree with mr bhagat
Shonee Kapoor (Expert) 27 October 2011
Which High Court?

Delhi HC has dispensed presence of the accused in quashing petition.

Whereas P&H HC has insisted on the presence of the accused.

So it may depend more upon the HC practise.
