FIR Quashing for 13 year old case


10-Oct-2023 (In Criminal Law)
We had a civil case against a wrongful possession of our shop. The tenant filed an FIR / chargesheet in that case. We filed a case in Allahabad high court in 2010 requesting a stay on the FIR. Because the original case was civil in nature, respected high court granted a stay on the order and requested the opposing counsel to submit a counter affidavit in 2 weeks. Its been 13 years now and nothing further happened. The civil case was resolved outside the court. How do we quash the FIR?

Dear Client, If your pending civil litigation has been short out then you must initiate a Compromise Deed with the opposite party who lodged that FIR and then again approach High Court for quashing that FIR and resolve you problems.

if the settlement regarding civil dispute has been resolved, in pursuance to which the FIR was registered then on the basis of that settlement High Court will quash your FIR...you have to pursue your case
