You can use the evidences and blackmail her that you will pursue the cases of adultery and she and paramour will be prosecuted if she dont agree to withdraw 498a.  That is the only problem you will face.  If you have taken dowry, it will be proved somehow or the other.  And you wil face jail term.

 

Instead of doing all this, you could have simply filed case on her and her parents that they gave you dowry/attempted to give you dowry.

 

A married woman can have relationship with any person, that will give ground for you seeking divorce from her, thats all.  IT might be the case that you will fail to prove adultery with the proofs at hand.

 

Coming and going to a persons house with regular interval or even staying with them does not prove adultery. 

 

All these cases will only waste some more time.

 

She moved on, its time you also moved on.  But as 498a sword is still hanging on your head, its you who has to bargain using these proofs to get out of 498a.

 

She has anyway filed for divorce, so better stop going to court.  She will get exparte divorce.

You should file divorce on cruelty adultery and desertion basis. As you have evidence of her working she will not get a single money. Court will give you divorce easily. After getting divorce other cases on you are not of any use.
