Section 482 CrPC | Amicable Settlement in Non-Heinous Offences Justifies FIR Quashing : Meghalaya HC
Meghalaya High Court quashed an FIR under IPC Sections 324, 367, and 506 after the complainant consented to settlement, holding that simple injuries and lack of public interest warrant closure under Section 482 CrPC. The ruling reinforces that compoundable offences with mutual settlement do not merit continued prosecution.
