False FIRs are increasingly common in civil disputes and matrimonial conflicts. However, the law provides a powerful remedy in the form of FIR Quashing.
High Court's Inherent Powers
Under Section 482 of the CrPC (now corresponding provisions in BNSS), the High Court has the power to secure the ends of justice. If an FIR is filed with malafide intent or if the dispute is purely civil in nature, the court can quash the FIR entirely.
Matrimonial Settlements
A significant number of quashing orders are passed in 498A (Dowry) cases where the parties have reached a compromise. We facilitate this compromise-quashing route to save clients from years of trial.
Legal Conclusion
Every case is unique. While this guide provides a general overview of How to Quash a False FIR: Section 482 Powers Explained, proceeding without specific legal counsel can be risky.
