1. Accused can be arrested even before registering FIR on the basis of Preliminary Enquiry by police if prima facie offence is found to have been committed.
2. There is no meaning in withdrawing complaint and in the first place it has to be seen under what provisions of law the case is booked and the offence is compoundable (compromised) or not.
3. Money will be returned to you after full trial of offence and that too if at all recovered. It is possible to trace any other property but it is difficult to recovery money.
4. Taking back complaint is not in your power. A complaint can be taken back only if the offence is compoundable. If the accused are booked only under Information Technology Act offence can be compounded as all offence under that Act can be compromised but other provisions of Indian Penal Code, 1860 are invoked by police complaint can be taken back.

you don’t need to file separate FIR 

2) Don’t take back the complaint t unless you receive your money 

3)  you can inform cyber crime unit that you have received your money and have no objections if complaint is closed 

1. An FIR is filed only when the offence is of cognizable nature. In non-cognizable offenses, the informant has to approach the officer in charge.

The power of investigation of a police officer is the same in cognizable and non-cognizable offenses, except the power to arrest without a warrant.

A brief understanding of the FIR not only empowers an individual with their rights but also helps them to decide the proper course of action when they are at the receiving end of a cognizable offence.

2. If the FIR has not yet been registered then you can decide to pardon them, condone their acts and can enter into a compromise  before withdrawing the complaint, it is up to you, there is no force on you about the course of action that you may decide.

3. The criminal court may not fetch you the relief of recovery of the money due to you.

Thuis criminal case will help you to put pressure on the accused to repay the amount due to you oin the fear of arrest.

For recovery of your money you may have to approach civil court as per provisions of law if they do not comply with the conditions to compromise the criminal complaint.

4. Without getting an agreement written on  non judicial stamp paper about the mode and terms of settlement/repayment of the amount due to you, it would not be advisable to withdraw the complaint in a hasty manner without understanding the future obligations.

1. If you have filed your complaint via online , then there is already Internet FIR number is mentioned , and an I.O. has already appointed for the investigation against the accused. 

- Further, you can get the status of that compliant after filing an application before the court as well. 

2. If they are ready to settle the dispute with you , then you can withdraw your compliant 

3. FIR filed on a compliant for an offence , and the court will punish the accused if found culprit i..e court will not pass order for refund the amount to you.

4. You can give an undertaking to the I.O of the case that you wanted to withdraw the compliant ,then after taking that undertaking from you , the compliant will come to an end. 

1. FIR has to be filed to arrest the accused.

2. The criminal law process is set into motion only with the filing of FIR.

3. It is for you to decide whether to accede to the demands of this guy and withdraw the complaint or take it to a logical conclusion.

Dear Sir,

 It seems police like to get it closed during preliminary investigation.

1)  arrest can happen but then police will convert the complaint to FIR. 

2) Its your choice. How their motive of future can be predicted.

But once they are arrested then they have to spend on bail and case.

Also you have to appear in court.  

3) You are right,  it will be long process to get my money back.

Without going to court you will not get.It will be based on recovery and civil suit.  

4) You can inform the cyber crime unit to take back complaint or close it based on money recovered.

If FIR is registered then only through court it can be closed by compounding.

Dear Sir,

1) Police file FIR if there is cognizable offense, on your complaint police is conducting inquiry if cognizable offense are found out you do not need to file another FIR.

2) If you want to take their offer you can ask the police investigating that your money was returned and you would like to close the complaint

3) If FIR and chragesheet is filed then Money will be returned after the long process of court trial if any was recoverable.

4) You should also not take back the complaint unless you get all money back.

Thank you

1. The accuser lodged police complaint and after primary investigation the police registers FIR based on the said complaint. So, you won't have to file a FIR afresh. You have already lodged the police complaint.

2. They have caused a crime for which they will face trail before  the  Court. If you get back your money then you might consider withdrawing the complaint, if you so desire and if the sections of the crime caused are compoundable.

3. The Court will direct them to return you the said amount.

4. Take back the amunt and leave the matter as it is. If you are called by the Court to testify, you depose that one has paid some amount claimed and not the full amount.
