hello sir,
My bother has been suspected in a criminal case under section 380, 454, 457 of ipc. He confessed infront of the police after getting all the bad treatments by them. Two years back an incident occured where my brother had stolen an amount from my uncles house. my uncle lodged an FIR and a case is pending against him under section 380,454,457 of ipc.
25-30% of amount is shown as recovered when filing chargesheet. Is it possible for my uncle to withdraw the case in any manner. What can be done if the case has to be compromised or quashed. So no further criminal charges be binding on him.

thanks,

Deepak Yashwantrao Bade

A.dear client in your case your uncle should depose before the court that he has now no more grievances against the accused as because the amount has been recovered, and he should file a prayer before the court for such along with an affidavit in this regard.

A.Dear Client, It is possible for your uncle to withdraw the case but only if he wishes to do so. According to IPC section 454 and 457 has rigorous imprisonment and fine both as punishments. In my expert opinion I would suggest you to have a direct conversation with an advocate who is expert in these matters.

What if my uncle is ready to do so. Does the case get closed as it is. Or still the charges are binding upon the accused as the case is against my brother and state.

If your uncle is ready to do so then tell your uncle to prepare a petition and file it before the H'onable Court and tell him to pray before the Court to withdraw the complaint. But In this process your uncle might get into trouble for wasting Court's precious time.

That would be the Judge's discretion. Although I might help you with the exact remedy you are looking for but to get the remedy you have to come to a direct conversation with me. So kindly call on the toll free number 1800-120-3313 and get legal advice.

A.If the charge sheet has been filed before the court then, there is nothing to be done to to drop the case. Ask the person who will give their deposition before the court as evidence to depose that they are having no knowledge of such act.

He has but a theft is a theft and will be punished when caught. Ask your uncle to file a petition before the court to drop the case. But I don't think the court will agree to it because the chargesheet has been filed.

A.Being a Family matter & case filed against your brother & his confession of the crime are matter of fact, so he cannot escape punishment.Only the withdrawal of complaint by your uncle being original complainant is the remedy. In order to help your brother you have to coordinate act quickly before the sentence & punishment.It is better to consult a Professional criminal reputed lawyer to help you out.

What about if my uncle Submits that I my brother wasn’t there or he has not done the crime to the court. In that case is there any option for him to get acquitted.

A.Sir,
During the TRIAL time the de facto complainant can turn as hostile witness.Then automatically the accused in this case gets acquittal.

And after this will he be acquitted. And what would be the role of police. Because they might show the written application in which they took sign of my brother.

Yours advocate will suggest to the police during cross examination in the court that the police took signature of accused on the blank papers forcibly.The evidence and statement before the Court will stand.Not the statement before the police.
