Quick Summary

If you've divorced and are struggling to remove a 498a case, even after a Lok Adalat compromise, you can petition the High Court. File under Section 482 of the CrPC, attaching your divorce decree as proof of mutual consent dissolution. While the High Court may quash the FIR directly, you can also pursue this in the trial court if necessary.

file quashing of FIR in High Court. 498a is prima-facie compoundable.

You can a quash petition under section 482 cr.p.c. before high court to quash the FIR/Charge sheet on the basis of the dissolution of your marriage on the grounds of mutual consent and attach the certified copies of the divorce decree.
The high court may quash the charge sheet, if not then you may challenge the same in the trial court.
