The offences are not compoundable. there is law permitting "withdrawal" of such FIR. Only the P.P. in consultation with the D.M. may apply to court for 'closing' the case. It will be discretion of the court to take a decision on such request, if made.

the offence of outraging the modesty and injury by sharp weapon are compoundable and can be compromised but attempt to murder is non compoundable and for that you may have to file a petition in high court for quashing the FIR.
