Sir,

If opposite party is helping you then, make a settlement deed between both the parties as an understanding between the two and go for quashing.

If the offences are compoundable then opposite party can compound the offence and the matter be got over .

Warm Regards

If the opposite party is ready to give no objection for quash petition to be filed before high court u/s 482 cr.p.c., you may contact an advocate and proceed with it.
