It is a compoundable offence, so if the settlement has been reached then the complainant can withdraw the complaint by making a statement in the court to this effect. The accused may be exempted from personal appearance in the court if the complainant appears personally to make the statement.
Yes, the court have power to do that, file an application for cancellation of NBW through lawyer and also submitted settlement letter which was executed between the parties and an application for withdrawal of complaint.
Case will be finished as withdrawan.
Feel free to call
If there is a compromise arrived between the parties, by filing a petition by the complainant the court may dismiss the case mentioning that the complaint not pressed the matter owing to out of court settlement. In that case the accused need no appear before court even though there is a NBW pending agaisnt him. Once the case is dismissed the NBW becomes infructuous.
