Legal Question
Can you withdraw a criminal case?
Hello Lawyers,
I am suspecting a family member of mine to have forged a signature of mine for getting some money. I am planning on filing a criminal complaint with the police and going legally.
My question is - tomorrow if he agrees to compensate and we decide to patch up- he pays me money, begs etc, Can I wthdraw without being penalized? I mean I don't want to get a bad name that I unwantedly tried to penalize him or defame him, but come out clean.
Does the law allow it?
Thanks!
