u may offer to pay the amount in the court and you may need lawyer for this purpose. the offence is compoundable and bailable.
If Complainant wants to compound he can do it and accused have to pay said amount in question, when you compound, court will not impose any penalty and u will get principal amount and may interest on it.
You have to pay the amount of Rs 5000 to the opposite party. If you believe opposite party, pay the said amount and ask him to withdraw the complaint. Otherwise compound the matter with your appearance. In case of withdrawal, your appearance may not necessary,
