Police can not close the case even though the complainant and accused have compromised. The accused has to approach high court with a prayer to quash the FIR stating that the parties have sorted their differences.

Dear Client,
If FIR is registered then Police have no power to close it without Court's permission. Max to max they can delay it for years, but cant close it.
Section 420 of Indian Penal Code is Cognizable, non bailable and Compoundable with permission of Court.
