sir
you are correct once the criminal proceedings started like section 304 (b) offences, it can't be compounded since the complainant was the Government. There is no way to settle the matter out of the court in this matters but you can approach the jurisdictional High Court to quash the entire proceedings that too is possible only any mistakes committed by the Police in prosecuting you. but you can succeed in this case by diluting the prosecution side with the help of your FIL side like turning as hostile.
