FIR Quashing Lawyer in Lucknow
Advocate Faizan Siddiqui

The power under Section 482 CrPC is an extraordinary jurisdiction. The Supreme Court of India has laid down in a series of cases — including State of Haryana v. Bhajanlal and subsequent judgments — the circumstances in which a High Court may quash an FIR or criminal proceedings. Recognised grounds include: the FIR does not disclose any cognizable offence even if all allegations are taken at their highest; the allegations are so patently absurd or inherently improbable that no reasonable person could reach the conclusion that a criminal case is made out; the FIR has been filed as a tool to pressure the other party in a civil, matrimonial, or property dispute; or the matter is essentially civil in nature being clothed as a criminal case. Each FIR is assessed on its own facts. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui reviews the FIR and related documents before advising whether a quashing petition is a viable and appropriate step.

When a quashing petition is filed, it is often appropriate to simultaneously apply for a stay on arrest or anticipatory bail to protect the petitioner during the pendency of the petition. Allahabad High Court frequently grants interim protection in appropriate cases. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui prepares both the quashing petition and the application for interim protection together, so that the court can consider both at the earliest hearing. This approach provides protection from custody while the merits of the quashing petition are argued.
