Move an application before the High court...Non appearance of the complainant /delay in prosecution evidence is a valid argument for dismissal of a complaint case.But do not expect the relief to come from the magistrate...258 is high on discretion component....words like exceptional/unusual etc. make life difficult.Go to the High court with a good counsel

sorry to add question in this
what if when the case is of 498A and wife is not appearing,
Is her evidence can be close,{ like awsar samapt}?
