Hi, the magistrate can drop the charges at the time of hearing when the charges are framed after filing of chargesheet...If the court is satisfied that no offence is made out in the investigation report, it can discharge the accused

Now, there would be a stage of framing of charges where itself you can be discharged by the court if pleases well by a lawyer after scrutinising the FIR and Charge sheet.

There are judgments also in regard to the same, but depends upon the argumentative skills of an advocate.

Dear,

Yes you can file the discharge application u/s. 239 crpc.

groundless, he shall discharge the accused.

If chargesheet is submitted to court by the policemen, then the court will take cognizance of the charges and will hold the accused to the plea - the stage is called - Plea of Accused.

1. Only because of you have filed the first case or two cross cases is pending between the two rival parties, it is no ground to dismiss the private complaint case.

2. if there is a merit in the private complaint case then only you can apply for discharge but not on the ground of case filed by you first.

3 There is no question of dropping this case at all.

Sec 227 Crpc.

Judgement can be suggest on perusal of FIR and charge sheet.

Dear client:

1. First one needs to know the facts of the case;

2. What is written in the FIR and the chargesheet has to be read thoroughly;

3. You can file a discharge application in the lower court;

4. You can also file a quashing of chargesheet in the High Court if there is no case against you;

5. You can also settle the matter, but again depends upon the facts of the case.
