SC to Decide on Partial Quashing of FIR Based on Compromise

The Supreme Court is reviewing a case where the accused seek to quash part of an FIR (First Information Report) due to a settlement with the complainant.

The petitioner, not named in the FIR, was implicated later through a co-accused's statement, leading to a compromise on 02.06.2023. 

The SC referenced Section 482 of the CrPC and highlighted conflicting High Court rulings on partial quashing of FIRs based on compromises.

The SC has issued notices and allowed six weeks for responses while allowing trial proceedings to continue against other accused but holding off on the petitioner until further orders.
