Yes, am pretty sure about it. Gone are the times when the police used to register a case under 498a seeing a few red coloured bills.
Now they enquire, look into the matter and then register the complaint.
Once you have the MC petition number with you, along with certified copies of the petition etc of the family court, you can produce the same at the police station, when you are called stating that your wife has filed a dowry case against you.
They ie the police simply cannot register a case against you or any of your family members when the matter is already in the court of law.
Even I followed the same thing, or else would have been in worse situations than what I am today. My wife tried the same thing, tried to lodge dowry case against me and my parents in the womens police station, but as the matter was in the court, the sub inspecter there, showed my wife and her group of goons the door.

Dear Vivek, As I have stated in my reply above. Wife cannot file a 498a when the matter [divorce] is already pending before the famliy court. Even if due to some bribe accepting law enforcement authorities do register a complaint, the complaint wont stand for long, but one would not have to undergo all that humiliation if a actual 498a case is filedl before one's husband files a divorce petition. Mean to say, trauma will be far more less if one files a divorce petition before she files a dowry case.

It is wrong to mention that 498a cannot be filed post divorce pettion in court. What actaully happens there is a good chance that 498a getting quashed post filing divorce pettition. However 498a can be technically filed anytime within 7 years of actual marriage or anytime as long as the marriage is not dissolved. However agreed with above posts that police will wash their hands once the matter is taken into court unless there is clear proof of from wife for harassment.
