Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

If there is a settlement made in a civil case between the parties in the LOKADALT, and if there is a clause in the setlement that no party can file a criminal complaint against the defendent for the dubious transactions of the land by a fake power of attorney and forgery he has committed, and at that time parties had given their consent and signed the settlement and the case was finalised in the court. so my question is that, can one still file a criminal complaint against the defendent? can by such a settlement a person be deprived from the legal remedy? can such a settlement provide the immunity to the defendent even when ther is a prima facie case of fraud? isn't it a voidable part of that settlement?
