About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal sworn statement submitted to a court to record that two parties have settled a criminal dispute privately. It is not a civil settlement agreement or a general release of claims, but specifically addresses pending charges under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
When should you use it?
Use this when a victim and an accused have settled their differences and want to close a pending criminal case, provided the offense is legally compoundable. Use a Memorandum of Settlement instead if you are settling a civil commercial debt or a labor dispute.
