Yes. You should file a 482 petition before High Court. Where both parties must be present and provide consent to a quash FIR and proceedings. In majority of case HC has taken a view that such proceedings are waste of judicial resources.

See if the offence is compoundable under section 320 of crpc and just by filing an application with consent of injured the case can be closed no need of going to the high court, just tell me the sections which have been mentioned will surely guide you.

Dear Sir, If you approach High Court under Section 482 of Cr.P.C there are more chances of quashing the criminal proceedings. Alternatively if charge sheet is not filed you may also ask the police to file B report that is no case report. Police have this power by recording further statement of complainant and witnesses.

1. You did not mention the charges here. 2. Court would consider the nature of the case ie., whether its compoundable offence or non-compoundable offence. 3. Talk to your present advocate for more info.
