The parties are not entitled to withdraw. However, once a compromise is reached, the police may file a cancellation report u/s 173 Cr. P. C. which may be accepted by the court; alternatively, the parties may approach the High Court for quashing of the FIR u/s 482 Cr. P. C. if a compromise is reached.
