Single petition u/s 482 for both 498a and DV Act?
06-Jun-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Can a single petition u/s 482 CrPC be used to quash both 498a FIR and Domestic Violence simultaneously if the allegations by wife in both the cases are almost similar and the alleged accused are same people in both case?
Yes, a single petition under Section 482 CrPC can be filed to seek quashing of both the FIR under Section 498A IPC and the Domestic Violence proceedings, if the allegations in both cases are substantially similar and involve the same accused persons. Courts have held that when multiple proceedings arise from the same set of facts, continuing them may amount to abuse of process. However, the High Court will examine whether the facts and legal grounds in both matters are truly overlapping before granting relief. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to assess whether your case qualifies for such a joint petition.

No. As both are seperate cases, you have to file seperate petitions for quashing. Though you can give reference of both the cases.
You can consult a good lawyer in your city to discuss further and make a good strategy and then file your case.
