withdrawing the complaint is the discretion of the complainant. if he refuses to withdraw, the accused will be convicted! accused cannot do anything except requesting the complainant to withdraw the complainant

Dear Jitu,
In a cheque bounce case, there are two facets one under the civil law for recovery of money and claim damages and the other is criminal justice. Even though the cheque is deposited the complainant can still go for damages and also prosecution under IPC. The accuse if wise enough should had paid the same cheque when the complainant sent notice of cheque bounce, which would had avoided all these legal tangles.

There are many reasons may be behind for not withdrawing the complaint by complainant. May be you have only paid back the cheque amount and if the counselor is not received payment for the work done also he refuse to withdraw. You can move before High court if the payment is made before filing under section 138 against you.
