If the Complainant wants, he can also withdraw the case without getting the costs incurred. If the Offences complained of are of not serious nature and non cognizable offences, then definitely, Complainant can withdraw the case.

Depending on the nature of the crime reported and the cognizance taken, the Magistrate might dismiss the Comlaint, however, the magistrate might impose costs or could also charge your neighbour with false prosecution.
