2. No before framing of charge the Magistrate would not discharge, but the police on the basis of affidavit of the wife can give final report to the Magistrate.

3. Quashing of this nature takes not more one month in Calcutta high court.

4. There is a procedure to do that. The court are not run at the wish of the parties. Engage a lawyer who would guide you how to do that.
