Once an FIR is registered and the police have already filed the chargesheet, the case becomes State vs Accused, so your decision to forgive the person does not automatically close the case. Offences under the IT Act are usually non-compoundable, which means the case cannot be withdrawn by the complainant on their own. You will have to appear before the court as PW-1 on the next hearing date and give your statement. You may inform the court that you do not want to pursue the case further. Based on your testimony, the court and the prosecution will decide how to proceed. If any of the sections are legally compoundable, both parties may file a compounding application, but this is allowed only with the court’s permission. It is advisable to consult a local advocate who can check the exact sections involved and guide you on the appropriate procedure.

Concerning your query, you can enter into a compromise and submit that comprise and file an affidavit stating as parties have entered into a compromise i want to drop all the charges. For this submit compromise at Trial court and for quashing of chargesheet you can file application u/s 528 BNS. I have recently worked on a similar case like yours.

entire case can be quashed by the Hon'ble High Court on the basis of compromise. but you cannot file the the application before the Hogh court. It is the accused who can file it for quashing. In the trial court it will take a lot of time to end as the court follow the procedures and follow the due cours. this may take years. If you are interested to end the matter so you can approach the accused and propose to end the case on the basis of compromise.
