Quash Petition in High Court for 5 FIR's after settlement


30-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My sister had to undergo desertion and cruelty in her marriage. The boy was an NRI and never came back to India once he went back to other country, after marriage organised in India. Both my sister and her husband have divorced each other in respective countries. My sister had also filed a case of 498A and DV against her in-laws. Her in-laws in return filed 5 FIR's on her and her family members. Chargesheet of the in-laws was filed 3 years back in the 498A matter. No relief came to my sister even after prolonged litigation, hence the matter got settled out of court through an MOU. Now both parties have to Quash their cases basis the MOU. Can we file the Quash petition in High Court (basis the MOU) for 5 FIR's filed on us by my sister's in-laws through one single petition or each FIR needs to mentioned in separate petition? In 2 of the FIR's chargesheet got filed against some of us and in 3 of the FIR's no chargesheet got filed against us. Should we mention these 3 in the petition

Yes, if the matter is settled then You can quash all the FIR's but you have to file separate quashing petitions for all FIR's under section 482 in High Court, there is no another way get quash all the FIR' in one petition.

Sir,
You can file one consolidated petiton in the High Court mentioning all the 5 FIR's together. There is no need to file separate and distinct petitions, you can mention all the FIR's and the said MoU in the petition because the quashing will be done based on the MoU. and YES you would need to mention all the FIRs in the said petition.
