A.Though as such there is no restriction in filing discharge application but the success rate at such stage is NIL. You can also argue on charge refutting the allegations and that no charge is made out against you.

A.Dear client,
Before fraiming charge by court, that is if court takes cognizance against all accused then certainly ,AB is needed, even before cognizance by court , you can move AB.

A.Dear Client,
As 498A is a non-bailable section, it is always advisable to take bail in the first place and thereafter move a discharge petition.
A discharge petition may or may not be entertained. However, bail is a way of securing your interest so that you don't end up in custody.
Thanks & Regards
Adv. Shreyash.
