Need your opinion on closing my case


12-Nov-2026 (In Criminal Law)
A case under Sections 323, 325 and 504 was registered against me in July 2023. Despite 9–10 witnesses, most have not appeared for 1.5 years. The petitioner initially asked 1lakh to settle, which I refused. Later, he agreed to withdraw the case and approached the PP with me and my lawyer, but the PP refused. He has since stopped attending. NBW and proclamation have been pending for nearly a year. I have attended court regularly since 2023, but the case remains open.How can I legally get it closed

Dear Sir you can move an application for discharge or file a petition under section 482 of the code of criminal procedure before the high court for quashing due to non-prosecution and abuse of process since the complainant is absent and witnesses are not appearing for over a year. This power is with High Court.
