A FIR can be quashed by the High Court if the Court is satisfied that the accused is falsely implicated and FIR is bogus and frivolous. In your case it is advisable for the parties to settle their dispute through a settlement deed and then the FIR can easily be quashed.

My prudence says that the FIR that has been lodged against your son is under section 498A/406 and has levelled domestic violence and dowry allegations him.
I need to peruse the FIR as being a State’s counsel I represent Police through out the day.
You can very well go for quashing before the High Court either on settlement or on merits which ofcourse will take it’s own course.

The High Court under Section 482 has the power to quash an FIR even after filing of Charge Sheet by the prosecution. The parties can also reach an informal agreement. The accused can also appraise the Court that there is no material evidence against him even after the investigation in the matter.
