It depends on the charges and accusations; some charges cannot be dropped through a settlement.

Dear Client,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding your husband’s situation and the possibility of his release following a settlement and withdrawal of the complaint.

If the complainant formally agrees to settle and withdraws the case, it is indeed possible for your husband to be released from jail.

However, immediate release on the same day is not guaranteed. The process requires the complainant to submit an official withdrawal to the police or Public Prosecution, after which the authorities will review the case and issue a release order if appropriate.

The timeframe for release depends on the nature of the case and the speed of administrative procedures, but we can assist in expediting the process as much as possible.

I offer comprehensive legal support in:

- Coordinating with the complainant and authorities to ensure proper withdrawal of the complaint,

- Submitting all necessary legal documents,

- Following up with the police and Public Prosecution to expedite your husband’s release, and

- Providing ongoing advice and representation throughout the process.

If you would like to proceed or require urgent assistance, please let me know so I can guide you through the next steps and represent your interests effectively.

Best regards,

Abdul Wahied

Dear Questioner,

Please be advised of the following:

- Cases involving societal harm (e.g., violent crimes, public offenses):

Even if the complainant withdraws, the prosecutor may continue the case if there is strong evidence, as these crimes are treated as offenses against society. However, the complainant’s withdrawal could weaken the prosecution’s case.

- Cases involving personal disputes (e.g., minor assault, family disputes):

If the case is primarily about individual rights (not public interest) and the complainant formally withdraws with the prosecutor’s approval, the court may dismiss charges. This usually requires submitting a formal withdrawal request or affidavit.

Even if the case is dismissed, administrative processes (court orders, paperwork) often delay release. Work closely with the authorities to expedite the process.
