Dear quriest,
What is the present status of your case?
Is there any other sections in FIR or only 498a?
Your wife has directly gone to file FIR or is it through CAW Cell?
You can ask for mediation anytime in court

Dear kumar, I think you should go to police station and read the complete file first. Police will not send any file to court without investigation. After that they will file charge sheet or closure report.
It's strange that you don't have oroper status of your case.
Better to appoint a lawyer

Dear kumar,
I'll try to clear your doubts.
First of all police has nothing to do with mediation.
Generally girls goes to CAW Cell and do" nautanki" that " I want to live in matrimonial house but my in-laws are cruel not accepting me and demanding dowry" THIS is the point where mediation fails and case than forwarded to police station.
In your case your wife directly goes to police station that is also legally right. But after this police should have come to your house, because it is the place where crime has occurred as per FIR. Police should have taken your statements and your family members statements. But as per you this has not happened.
So a doubt came in mind " has police submitted the report to court that you are no cooperating and need arrest"
Reason is there is recent judgement of supreme court that police cannot arrest without permission of magistrate.

I may be wrong, but it is highly recommended to appoint a lawyer and first take anticipatory bail.
