Can I settle a Criminal case with the petitioner
15-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi,I had an FIR against me in 2013 by one individual MR.X. The case become a cc case in the month of June'2016.The sections charged on me are 420,379 OF IPC & 66(C)(D) IT ACT. When I looked up e-courts its no where mentioned that the case is a State Vs me one.In the updated case status the petitioner is still MR X as who made the FIR in 2013. All I want to know can I approach the petitioner and ask him to settle it amicably and request him to withdrew the charge.Will the state come in between or it will allow it to be settled if the petitioner agrees after any kind of settlement for damages.
Yes u can approach the petitioner in this matter. Though the offence is a compoundable offence but if both the parties are ready to settle then yes the matter can get over. You can either try for mediation in it through court. Or even try out of court settlement. Once the settlement is done make sure that you quash the FIR under Section 482 Cr.pc from the high court

It is possible for your to approach the complainant and see that the charges are not pressed for further proceedings. You need to talk to the complainant and arrive at a compromise. Reduce your terms of compromise into writing and submit the same to the court.
