498a quashing in high court

Hi Everyone My wife and I are going for the mutual consent divorce. My wife agreed to take/quash the 498a case. My lawyer is from session court and saying he can't apply to quash 498a FIR and he would seek some lawyer from high court since it will be applied there. Is this correct that session court lawyers can't file an application in high court. My assumption was that anyone could file an application. Also how long does it takes to Quash 498a in Delhi High Court. Will there be any problems since my wife will give her affidavit? Any issues raised by judge or investigating officer? Please guide me. Thanks Rahul

Thank you sir and I have read the order as well. Just wanted to make sure that FIR under section 498A/406 can be considered as well? 

I will show this to my lawyer and take a chance.

Thanks

As such there is no bar on advocate's appearance in high court. If it is mutual case then it will take 15 days time and if notice is issued by court to police etc. then it will take 1-2 months time. As such judges does not raise any issue.

As per the consent terms, your lawyer or her lawyer can file Quashing Petitioh in High court.   I gues your lawyer does not want to do HIgh COurt work, you can enagge another lawyer.  It is

queston of fees after all.   Qushing doesno take filing and one date aas your  wife will be giving xonsent

One date's matter
