Since two cases have been filed for the same cause of action and you have already settled with the complainant, you can file a petition under Section 482 of the CrPC before the High Court to quash the case. If the Court is satisfied that the settlement is genuine and no public interest is affected, the case can be quashed. For any legal assistance, please contact me.

Dear Client, Since two FIRs are filed for the same cause of action, you have a very strong ground to approach the High Court for quashing under Section 482 CrPC/BNS, because double prosecution for the same incident is not legally permissible. Since you have already settled the matter with the complainant, the High Court normally quashes such cases, even if other co-accused exist. I can help you draft the quashing petition, collect settlement proof, and ensure that both FIRs or the duplicate/chosen FIR stands quashed in a single hearing. If needed, we can also request no-objection from the complainant, which speeds up the quashing. I will guide you step-by-step, including drafting, filing and representation. For detailed help you can contact me at IX-I-VI-III-O-VI-V-O-II-II.
