Criminal Law Videos - How to quash an FIR in India

Quashing of FIR's means rejection of FIR's as invalid through legal procedures. Although the SC and the HC have power to quash an FIR legally, they use this power very sparingly. The inherent powers of the High Court under Section 482 of CrPC could be exercised to quash proceedings, in appropriate cases either to prevent the abuse of the process of any courts or otherwise to secure the ends of justice. The decision to use this power is taken only in cases which are exceptional in nature. It dates way back to the Bhajan Lal vs Haryana Government case.
