How can a Complainant Withdraw a case after FIR?


05-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I was looted 3 days back and informed police, who caught criminals on the spot. Later they took my statement and sign and lodged an FIR against the accused. As I had no idea about these things earlier so I did what police told me to do. The accused have been booked under section 392/411/34. I don't want to get into more trouble and get into court activities. I just want to withdraw the case. Kindly guide me how to that and get rid of it permanently.

These are cognizable offences. You cannot simply withdraw the cases under those sections. You have to move before high court to quash the proceedings against t the accused.

Once the court is satisfied then the case will be closed.

Hi,

In your case you don't need to worry, you just go to the court for recording your statement for one time only . So Go and do the same. And after this the accused counsel will cross examine you in front of Magistrate. It will be a simple court process, therefore you don't need to fear and worry.
