My case of 498A has gone to court, my case is going on at Raipur Court (Chhattisgarh). Please tell me is it advisable to contact "Mahila Aayog", if yes how can i get in touch with them?

As matter of additional forum for redressal you can go to Mahila Ayog. But, don't try to hide there that you have already approached to court.
You can write a letter to Mahila Ayog, Chhatisgarh.
Have a nice day.

Mahila Ayog (if you mean state commission for women), I say, file a complaint before them giving full details. But,note it , they do nothing as far as this type of case is concerned. The State Commission for women and also the National Commission for women have not got required powers to do any thing and that is why, in legal circles, they are treated as teethless babies. They cannot bite.
Recently, Delhi Commission for women has been issuing orders directing the employer of the husband to deduct salaries of the husband and make the payment to wife as maintenance. These orders have been stayed and in some cases struck off by the hon'ble High Court.
You concentrate on Section 498-A. In these days, the judiciary has, unfortunately developed a tendency that all the cases filed under this section are harassing the innocent men and is acquitting the guilty husbands. That is why make sure to prove the charges against the husband to succeed in these cases.
