GRANT OF DIVORCE HAS CONNECTION WITH THE 498A CASE.
SUCH CASE WILL GO ON EVEN IF DIVORCE IS GRANTED.

it is better you reach an amicable settlement with your wife .convert existing petition for divorce into divorce by mutual consent . file consent terms which provide that wife will with draw all other cases filed by her including 498A case

If the mutual consent for divorce is headway, the wife can on the basis of the same, make move for disposal of 498a case too.

Ajay has rightly advised you to go in for consented divorce and then the 498a will not be difficult to come out with.
