Hi In case your case has already been disposed. There is no need to get the FIR quashed. In case it is settled / compounded then you don’t need to get the FIR quashed. Feel free to get in touch to discuss further.

Not always'if the prosecution has been validly disposed of (acquittal, conviction, or formal compounding/withdrawal) you may not strictly need a separate quashing order, but parties commonly seek quashing to remove the FIR/charge-sheet from records and to prevent further investigation or collateral proceedings; courts also retain power to quash criminal proceedings in appropriate cases even where offences are nominally non'compoundable when a genuine settlement makes conviction unlikely and continuation would abuse the process of court. Key authorities: B.S. Joshi v. State of Haryana (Supreme Court -quashing allowed in matrimonial/settled disputes) [https://indiankanoon.org/doc/469138/]; Gian Singh v. State of Punjab (Supreme Court -scope and limits of quashing; serious/heinous offences excluded) [https://indiankanoon.org/doc/69949024/]; Jitendra Raghuvanshi v. Babita Raghuvanshi (Supreme Court -matrimonial settlements may justify quashing) [https://nearlaw.com/PDF/SC/2013/2013-ALL-SCR-1542.html]; State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (Supreme Court -caution on quashing at investigation stage) [https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1558396/]. Statutory context under the new codes: BNSS s.528 preserves High Court inherent power to quash [https://indialawacts.in/bnssSections.php]; BNSS s.359 deals with compounding of offences (procedure and which offences are compoundable) [https://thebharatiyanyayasanhita.in/section-359-compounding-of-offences/]. Practical advice: consult your advocate about filing a quash petition if (a) prosecution remains pending, (b) you want formal deletion of records or protection from further action, or (c) the offence is non'heinous and parties have a verified, voluntary settlement.

Hello, the fee for quashing of FIR can vary and is usually agreed upon between the lawyer and the client. Since the matter has been settled between the parties, you can approach the Hon’ble High Court for quashing the FIR registered under Sections 420 and 120B IPC. For specific details on quash petition fees, you should consult an advocate.

The fir quashing fees depend on the discretion, experience, and caliber of the advocate. There is no fixed price index for lawyer fees. The amount you mentioned seems quite low considering the legal expenses involved. You should directly discuss quash petition fees with an experienced advocate.

Actually, quashing of FIR is only done through the High Court, which makes the process quite expensive. My charges start from ₹30,000. If you are serious about getting the FIR quashed efficiently, you may need to increase your budget, as ₹25,000 might not be sufficient. Feel free to reach out for more details on high court quashing FIR fees.

Yes, quashing is possible under ₹25,000. Quashing petitions are filed in the High Court, and it is at the discretion of the Hon’ble High Court whether to allow or dismiss the petition based on valid legal grounds. If you need to proceed, you can get a quash petition filed for fees below ₹25,000.

Hi, if your case has already been disposed of, there is no need to get the FIR quashed. If the matter has been settled or compounded, quashing of FIR is not necessary. However, if you still wish to proceed, you can consult a lawyer regarding 498a quashing fees and the overall process. Feel free to get in touch for further discussion.
