Sir, 

 

Yes the favourable order in DV case can help you, but you have to argue your 498A case on its own merits and if the chargesheet has been filed, then you can go for discharge of the case.

The bail is granted and so no arrest will be done now. The criminal complaint based on FIR u/s 498A IPC is independent matter and it has to be defended by you in the court proceedings initiated by the Magistrate in the matter where you need to appear with your advocate on the dated fixed. You can even try for quashing of FIR and criminal proceedings from the High Court on the ground of delay in filling chargesheet by the police and falsehood of the criminal complaint that was based on similar facts and circumstances which got decided in the Domestic Violence case filled against you.The same you can use in the Magistrate court at the time of Charge stage which will be fixed by the Magistrate after you make your first appearence in the court. The Magistrate may consider the decision of Domestic Violence case as that was based on similar facts and circumstances.

First mark your presence in the court. Move application for discharge. The magistrate court will fix date for hearing your application and framing charges.

Yes, appear in the Magistrate Court through the advocate, get the charge report and decide the course of action in getting discharge/acquittal.
