Expert advice required on 498a

My wife filed U/S IPC 498a and ¾ DP Act against me and my parents on June 2012.

After 4 days of filing the case my wife submitted an affidavit to PS by writing that due to agony and provocation of friends she mistakenly filed the case. Presently she has no allegations against me and my parents. She does not want to proceed the case and she has no objection if all the accused persons are discharged from the case.

I was not aware of the affidavit at that time.

My parents got bail upon surrender before court.

I got anticipatory bail from Calcutta H.C.

From then I got date.

My advocate said on next date charge sheet will be given.

I am working in a PSU under WB Govt. My office said they came to know from their reliable source the case was dismissed in 2013. And office asks me to submit certified copy of that.

Now my question is,-

1. Can the case be dismissed on the basis of my wife’s affidavit?

2. If so, how can I come to know?

3. Is there any way to obtain the certified copy from the court by myself?

4. Is so, what’s the procedure?

There are lot of sources through which you can get the desired information authentically. First through your lawyer or by making a visit to the court directly, enquiring about it in the registry or the court office, by making a visit to the concerned police station and verifying the details from their diary, etc. Take the help of another lawyer if your present lawyer snot cooperating.
