A.File a case of restitution of conjugal rights against your wife and let her give proof of cruelty against her and you keep your defense ready in case you are innocent or claims to be. Do not worry about the 498a case because once restitution is allowed the decree itself can be made admissible and relevant in the earlier case and therefore you will get what you want. As far as 125 crpc is concerned that has nothing to do with where you wife lives and she is entitled to her maintenance even if she resides with you under the same roof is condition otherwise demands so you either talk to your wife or appoint a lawyer who can bargain a minimal amount for you in court.

A.Hi,
You can get a divorce from her on the grounds of cruelty and desertion and then can apply for getting the custody of your child or otherwise you might get visitation rights. For quashing the false 498 a case, you need to give proper evidences and need to present witnesses in the court who can help you in proving your innocence in the court. You can file counter cases on your wife u/s 120 B, 191, 500 of the Indian penal code
Collect as many pieces of evidence as possible
Record all conversations (voice, chat, email, letters, etc.) with those threatening and keep the originals in a safe place. It is advised not to produce the original evidence before anyone.
Collect evidence to prove that you have neither demanded dowry nor have taken it anytime.
Collect evidence to prove that she moved out of the bond of marriage for no valid reason.
This evidence will be fruitful in the time of getting anticipatory bail or notice bail from the court.

Thank You
