Section 528 BNS | Compromise in Assault Case Against Public Servants Justifies FIR Quashing : Delhi HC
Delhi High Court quashed a decade-old FIR under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita after all victims, including the legal heir of the deceased, consented to an unconditional compromise. The ruling reinforces that inherent powers can be exercised to quash criminal proceedings where public servants and their legal heirs settle disputes amicably, even in non-compoundable offences.
