A.No need go to High Court for quashing the FIR and criminal complaint under section 420, 376IPC.
The complainant can appear in the court and make statement of her withdrawal of the complaint against the accused as it was misunderstanding between them that lead to her making the complaint against him and all clarifications now have resolved their dispute and she want to move ahead in life in peaceful manner, not involving in any further litigation in this regard.
The Session Court judge assigned the matter will allow the withdrawal of the complaint on the basis of the statement of the complainant.
