Time for dismissal of 498a

498A is a criminal case without the evidence it cannot be dismissed.

Both the parties you mean the accused not respondent this is how it is adressed in Criminal cases. If the accused dont appear on dates he will have his bail cancelled and warrants issued so the accused is to be present in court for the proceedings.

The case would never be dismissed unless quashed from HC or the accused are proved innocent throgh trial.

No chance to dismisal of your case because of it's warret triable case and once case started as per final hearing court decided conviction or acquittal.

If the case you are talking about is a complaint case rather than being a police case, it can be dismissed if complainant doesn't appear before the court even on a single date.

actually they  first complained first to the police but never appear before a court.  The accused declared in front of court that he is innocent  but before or after  the complainant  never appear before court.  Neither the accused got any call from the court since three years. Please suggest me what to presume about the current situation of the case?

Check with the concerned court.

File for quash in HC.

If the case you are talking about is a complaint case rather than being a police case, it can be dismissed if complainant doesn't appear before the court even on a single date.
