Section 482 CrPC | Compromise with One Accused Does Not Justify Quashing FIR Against Others : Rajasthan HC

The Rajasthan High Court held that a compromise between the complainant and only one accused cannot serve as grounds to quash an FIR against co-accused who did not settle. This reinforces that partial settlements do not extinguish criminal liability for non-compromising parties, ensuring accountability in multi-accused cases under the IPC and SC/ST Act.
