As Ld.Mr.Nair said - the second can be settled by various modes of ADR, infact the court is under a mandate to encourage resolution by ADR.
In the first category - there is no formal mode of ADR applicable - except plea bargaining - if you can call that ADR. In Compoundable cases FIR quashing on the basis of a compromise is being allowed these days.
