A.Dear client,
If it is a petty case, then compromise is allowed by the Court under section 320 of CrPC. Else, please defend yourself in Court with the help of a lawyer

A.Hi client,

I think you even know what the consequences should be and the shop owner has opted the right remedy. The options available for you-
. Fight the case by appointing an advocate.
. Go for a mutual settlement by paying the amounts you have stolen along with a compensation.
