Can 498a be closed in a PS of Andhra Pradesh.
Other party is looking for compromise?
Right now PS didnot send the chargesheet.
Will the closure happens in court or PS.
Please answer

Ask the police to submit final report on the basis of compromise.
If it does not happen then file a petition for quashing in the high court on the ground of mutual settlement. The magistrate can not close it without conclusion of trial.
