Q: Dear Lawyers, I have a criminal case against me. The person who filed the case has withdrawn it, and I have received a letter of consent from them. However, the police are not canceling the case. They say that the public prosecutor has not canceled it, even though it was not a big problem.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I want to understand the process of withdrawing a criminal case. I had filed a criminal case against a person (for scamming and impersonating a different identity) with the police. Now, the defendant's family wants me to withdraw the case and claims that they will repay all the losses incurred. Should I: 1. Take them with me to the police station where I filed my case and sign a document. 2. Tell them to hire a lawyer from their side and clarify how the payment will be made. 3. Is there any other way to resolve this matter easily? I also want to know what exactly should be written in the document. I don't want to get scammed again, so I would appreciate your advice.

Q: Dear Lawyers, I would like to seek assistance regarding the current status of my case. My case has been transferred from Dubai Police to the Public Prosecution. However, before that, the other party withdrew the case at the notary. All documents were submitted along with the case and to the Public Prosecution. Kindly let me know if I need to follow up with them or what the next step is. The case status is showing as "under investigation" in the Public Prosecution.

Q: Hello, I would like to know if the case is withdrawn by the opposing party. I have submitted the notarized letter to the police station, how will I know if they have submitted the report to the public prosecution? Do I need to wait for the police station to submit it, or can I go directly to the public prosecution office and submit the documents to lift the travel ban?

Q: Dear Lawyers, After withdrawing the case and submitting the notarized withdrawal letter to the police station, I received a call from the station stating that I need to visit the prosecution office. What is the purpose of this visit? Is it to provide me with a letter stating that the travel ban is lifted? Is the other party who filed the complaint against me also required to be present at the prosecution office?
