Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973; Section 482-There is no prohibition against quashing of the criminal proceedings even after the charge sheet has been filed.- Referred to Anand Kumar Mohatta v. State (NCT of Delhi) (2019) 11 SCC 706. (Para 16)
Summary: High Court refused to quash the FIR- Allowing appeal, SC observed: The provocation for the Complaint/FIR is essentially the property dispute between father and son. Further, the rights and claims in the suit are the very basis and provocation for filing the criminal cases. The Complaint/FIR is replete with just one theme i.e. that the appellants are threatening them that they will deny share in the property. The Complaint/FIR is intended only to further their interest of the civil dispute- none of the ingredients of Sections 498A, 323, 504, 506 read with Section 34 IPC are made out.
