In your case both parties may compromise the matter between them and jointly file a quashing petition before the concerned high court seeking quashing of the FIR. If the high court is satisfied it may allow your petition and the case would then stand closed

Hi, You need to understand that after initiating a criminal case upon anyone, it becomes a state case. Your daughter can do two ways. Firstly, she can depose the statement before the police and then court or else Secondly, she can avoid it. To your dismay, if you approach the second method, then you shall be called upon again and again. To Quash the matter, you can approach the accused person and file a petition before the Hon'ble High Court to quash the proceedings. For more information, feel free to have a word with me.

Let the accused approach you and ask him for the compromise and your daughter will have to go to the court first and give her statement that she does not want to pursue the matter if the matter is not compoundable ( no compromise allowed she will have to come to high court for quashing call 8860070030

How someone can suggest without FIR and chargesheet (if filed by I.O.). As far as quashing is concerned that also depend on actual position of law as of now and facts & circumstances of the case. Kindly contact your lawyer else contact me through lawrato.

Your daughter may give statement to the Investigation officer in this regard that she does not wish to follow up the complaint as it would hamper her education and due to time constraints. Although the Court has got power to even summon the complainant to come before the Court if he/she does not appears. Better Course would be to give statement to the IO and then appear before the court and ask for the exemption from appearance in the Court hearing unless specifically required stating reasons.
