Section 528 BNSS | Quashing of FIR Permissible for Civil-Flavour Disputes Upon Compromise When No Heinous Offence Involved : Jharkhand HC

Jharkhand High Court holds that criminal proceedings under Section 528 BNSS can be quashed post-compromise if the dispute is of a civil nature and lacks heinous elements or public policy concerns. The ruling reinforces the court's inherent jurisdiction to prevent abuse of process, particularly where parties settle disputes amicably outside court.
