Section 482 CrPC | No Quashing of FIR for Serious Injuries Despite Settlement : Delhi HC
Inherent powers under Section 482 CrPC cannot quash an FIR for serious injuries such as a skull fracture, even if the parties have settled, the Delhi High Court held. The judgment emphasizes that grave bodily harm outweighs compromise, limiting the use of Section 482 in violent offences and guiding future quashal petitions.
