Quashing is permissible under criminal jurisprudence only.
The custody case is case of civil nature and it is filed in the court of district judge, not sessions court.
Appear and fight the case on merit.

Both parties have right to claim custody over the children and court has to decide the case after hearing both so you have no other option but to contest the petition seeking custody of your children.
