you can file for quashing of the FIR in the high court and settle the dispute with the opposite party. a joint petition can be filed from both parties or just a single one and you would have to go to high court

How do I withdraw my Posco case?

Settle the issue between the parties. To withdraw the case, you must file the criminal miscellaneous complaint with the High Court. This is the only way you can withdraw the case. The case cannot be withdrawn from the court.

How do you defend a Pocso case?

In POSCO cases, the medical examination report is usually used to refute the prosecutions argument. A good cross-examination can be very helpful in the trial.

Firstly, you need to clarify whether your sister is the victim or a witness, if she is a victim the she has to depose before the judge and in second case if she a witness, there is not much option but to join the proceedings.

As I have understood from your Question, your Sister and her friends have filed the complaint, as per the Police Record. Making them the Complainants in the said matter. Please note that the Complainant is only required in court at the time Recording of their Evidence, during the pendency of the trial. Generally it takes 1-2 court hearings. If in case your sister is being called more frequetly to the court, then i suggest please let an Advocate accompany her, in order to get a clear picture of the senario. Also, if your sister is hesitent to visit the court alone, then also she can be accompanied by an advocate.

Pocso is a non-compoundable offense, and it's very hard to dismiss a case. Now, courts are reluctant to dismiss proceedings for non-compoundable offenses. Pocso treats henious crimes. The best thing to do is to have the complainant come to the trial court and narrate either the truth or the hostile version.
