Delhi Lawyer Accused Of Raping Junior Advocate Moves High Court To Quash FIR Citing Settlement

A Delhi lawyer accused of raping a junior advocate has approached the Delhi High Court seeking quashing of the FIR, claiming the dispute has been settled through a Memorandum of Understanding with the complainant.

The case had earlier attracted attention after allegations surfaced that two judicial officers had pressured the complainant, which led to disciplinary proceedings.

The High Court has issued notice, and the plea for quashing is scheduled to be considered on December 22.

An anticipatory bail application filed by the accused is also pending before the Court.
