Penalty for harassment and physical assault of senior citizens in India

Dear Sir, My father, a senior citizen at 69 years of age, was physically assaulted by our 35-year-old neighbor. It started over a minor confusion, leading to him banging our doors. When my father went out, he and others brutally beat him, causing profuse bleeding and severe bruising around his eyes (we have relevant pictures showing his injuries and blood on the floor). I arrived a bit later and found my father already thrashed. We ended up in a fist fight, but neighbors intervened, and the police were called. All three of us were taken for medical examination (MLC), where it was confirmed as non-grievous injuries. Following the incident, the SHO of the police station initially suggested waiting 6-7 days before filing an FIR. After seeking intervention from the DCP of the area, an FIR was eventually lodged under sections 323/341/506/34. Given that the injuries are non-grievous and the sections are bailable, everyone is advising us to consider a compromise, considering the legal implications involved.
