Hello,

If a crime has been reported then it is a crime against the state and therefore you are advised to hire an advocate and get the Case compounded So that you are not served with any summon in future.

Dear Concerned,

Go to the court on 24.10.2014 and personally mention to the magistrate that you do not want to pursue the case as you have got your car. The magistrate have the powers to dispose your case. You need not to hire a lawyer for this.

Best of luck

Don’t take your case back

2) you don’t need to hire a lawyer

3) public prosecutor will appear on behalf of the state and prosecute the accused

4) your presence would be necessary during trial to give evidence

5) if accused fails to appear bailable warrant would be issued against him

Hi, you can file for the quashing of FIR in high court.. You don't need to hire a advocate as public prosecutor will handle the case from your side ..

1. Since you are de facto complainant of this case you are represented by public prosecutor and hence engagement of private advocate is not required.

2. Your regular presence in the case is also not necessary.

3. When the case would reach at trial stage you will be summoned to give evidence. Then your attendance would be compulsory.

You can decide about continuing or closing the case.

In the next hearing you may file a memo before court stating that you both have compromised and are willing to settle the matter out of court hence this case may be compounded and dismissed as not pressed.
