Pradeep Dheer & Ors. v. the State (Govt. of NCT of Delhi) & Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioners sought quashing of an FIR alleging fraud under Sections 420 and 120B IPC. The court held that since the parties had settled amicably and the amount was returned, quashing was appropriate under Section 482 CrPC as a useful purpose would not be served by compounding at the trial court.
What did the court decide?
FIR No. 1089/2022 and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom were quashed.
