Quash or discharge

Ld Counsels,
Which is a better way to challenge a charge-sheet in a magistrate court. Should I try Quash or Discharge. The nature of accusations are not grave. Prima facie the case appears weak.
Also is it required for the accused to be present in court during the hearing
for discharge petition in a warrant triable case. The case status is summons have been issued for first appearance.
Kindly let me know if migistrate has powers to add more section even after
charge-sheet is filed.
Please clarify.
Thanks

challenging a charge-sheet before magistrate court.
