FIR Quashing
FIR Quashing Lawyer in Delhi
Petitions to quash FIRs and proceedings before the Delhi High Court under the inherent jurisdiction.
An FIR that should never have been registered can still take years to defeat at trial. Where the law permits, quashing the FIR at the threshold is faster, cheaper and far less damaging. We assess every matter for quashing potential before recommending a trial-stage defence.
Grounds for Quashing
FIRs are routinely quashed where the allegations, even if accepted on face value, do not constitute the offence alleged; where the dispute is essentially civil and has been given a criminal colour; where the parties have arrived at a settlement in compoundable or matrimonial matters; or where the registration is a clear abuse of process.
Quashing on Settlement
In 498A and matrimonial matters, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that FIRs can be quashed on the basis of settlement even where the offence is not strictly compoundable. We assist with mediation, settlement documentation and the consequent quashing petition.
Where We File
Petitions under Section 482 CrPC / Section 528 BNSS are filed before the Delhi High Court. We also seek interim protection from coercive action pending disposal.
