My neighbor, Mr. X, filed a police complaint against me back in 2013. The case became a court case in June 2016. I’m facing charges under sections 420, 379 of the Indian Penal Code and 66(C)(D) of the IT Act. When I checked online court records, I couldn’t find any mention of the case being a “State vs. me” case. The complainant is still listed as Mr. X. Is it possible for me to approach Mr. X and try to settle this matter amicably? Can I request him to withdraw the charges? Would the state intervene in this process, or would they allow the case to be settled if Mr. X agrees to a resolution involving damages?

Under Indian law, you can approach Mr. X and try to settle the matter amicably. He can withdraw the charges, but the State can intervene, especially in cases involving serious offenses like those you are facing. The State may allow the case to be settled if Mr. X agrees to a resolution involving damages, but this is at the State’s discretion.
