FIR Quashing Petition (High Court)

About this service

Under Section 528 of the BNSS (formerly Section 482 CrPC), the High Court can quash an FIR that discloses no offence, is an abuse of process, or has been settled between the parties (for example in matrimonial disputes). Includes drafting, filing and arguments at admission. Court fee, stamp duty and government fees are extra, at actuals.
