For compromise, you have to file an application before the Court, where the case is being tried, mentioning therein that you have compromised the matter with the affected person.

It is better if the affected person also files his affidavit alongwith this petition that he has compromised the matter with you and that he has no objection if the FIR and the criminal proceedings against you are quashed.

If there is a written compromise, a copy of the same should also be filed alongwith the petition. The court ordinarily send/refer the case to the Lok Adalat for settlement and disposal, if the offence is compoundable. In practice, the people mostly file a Criminal Miscellaneous Main petition in the High Court under section 482 Cr.P.C for quashing of the FIR and for quashing of the criminal proceedings pending in the trial court.

The police will arrest the criminals if they are located. The police will then record their findings into a "Challan" or charge sheet once the investigation is complete. The case is taken to court if the charge sheet is considered sufficient.
