In India, only the High Court has the power to cancel an FIR (First Information Report). A Magistrate can only decide whether to let the accused go if the charges against them seem weak. This means the High Court deals with more serious legal matters, while the Magistrate handles smaller parts of the legal process. This setup ensures that the legal system works properly and fairly for everyone involved.

The High Court has the authority to quash a First Information Report (FIR) when a compromise is reached between the complainant and the accused. Both parties can jointly file a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), outlining the terms and conditions of the settlement.
