I think its better to with draw Divorce petition,i could be wrong may be experts can guide,

once with drawn they will continue with 498A as they need to extract money from you,

but dont give, fight until the judgement on 498A, once 498A is proven false that will automatically give you right for divorce,you can claim divorce with out any issue.dont worry much about the cases, if proven false she will not even get any kind of maintanence,[Experts please add your comments]

Rgds,

Once you have filed a case, you cannot hold your case, however, you can delay the case by postponing the dates on giving some reason. In your case, her filing of cases against is a pure reaction of your divorce petition, so you can take a plea that, her filing of cases is a after thought and reaction towards your divorce case and can get all the cases dismissed.

mr nitin and learned adv vandana are right in their views.once if you can prove her 498a against you is false you can claim divorce on grounds of cruelty as filing false 498a is considered to be an act of cruelty and maintenance to her can be denied but not for the child.

instead of withdrawing the divorce case you can opt for delay tactics

The dilatory tactic in the divorce case may help you to prolong the same to certain extent and not beyond a level.  If she has filed other cases against you, you have to contest the same properly or else you will stand losing all the cases including the divorce case filed by you. 

If you believe you have strong evidences and the merits in your side, dont give it up, go ahead.
