u have used the word convicted, it has a different meaning in law, u have been charged by a women. coming back to ur query for sec 354, outraging modesty of a woman using assault or criminal force, u can be convicted up to 2 years, offence is cognisable, bailable,non compoundable.if she really wants to withdraw the case she has to file petition under 257 crpc , since it is a non compundable ,and triable by a magistrate court , the court will take a call on this.
