BNSS Section 528 | Quashing FIR for Private Offences Valid on Compromise: Punjab & Haryana HC Upholds Inherent Powers
Punjab & Haryana High Court reaffirms that FIRs under private offences (Sections 406, 420 IPC) can be quashed under BNSS Section 528 if parties reach a genuine compromise, provided procedural safeguards like victim statements are followed. The ruling clarifies that BNSS retains CrPC’s inherent powers for quashing non-compoundable offences, offering relief to accused where disputes are amicably resolved.
