In view of provisions of section 320 Cr.P.C., it is doubtful whether matter can be compromised before a Lok Adalat. However, you can compromise with the permission of the Court.

Once the matter is registered,it can not be compromised but with the permission of court the matter could be get compounded. Section 406 is not compoundable so you have to approach the high court for quashing.

Re: Procedure to compromise a criminal suit in Lok Adalat?
All the offence 406, 408 and 420 are compoundable. I have read one of the view of my brother advocate that 406 is not compoundable, but with respect, it is not correct, and 406 is also compoundable.
In criminal case, lok adalat is not applicable.

Even in court they can file compromise petetion,case can disposed in one day.
