Please note that criminal prosecution cannot be initiated and terminated at the sweet will of the complainant,moreover when the charge is non compoundable like section 376.
However if the complainant wishes not to prosecute the case further as the accused has married her and on the basis of out of court settlement,only High Court exercising its inherent jurisdiction u/s 482crpc can quash such case.
