The defacto complainant cannot withdraw the complaint.

However the accused can move High court with a petition to quash the charge sheet in which the defacto complainant should appear in person before high court and file an affidavit expressing no objection for the reasons you have stated here.

You can discuss with your advocate on all further issues too.
