As per case facts, both Petitioners sought to quash an FIR and a subsequent GR case under various IPC sections against Petitioner No.1, based on a complaint lodged by Petitioner ... No.2. After a charge-sheet was filed and cognizance taken, the petitioners presented a Compromise Deed, claiming an amicable settlement without duress, and requested the court to quash the proceedings. The question arose whether the High Court should exercise its inherent powers under Section 582 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, to quash the FIR and the consequent GR case based on a compromise deed that appeared one-sided and potentially entered into under duress. Finally, the High Court expressed skepticism about the Compromise Deed, noting its lopsided nature where all responsibility fell on Petitioner No.2, with no assurance from Petitioner No.1, and felt that Petitioner No.2 may not have entered into it voluntarily due to possible duress. Emphasizing that quashing powers should be used sparingly, especially when a compromise is suspicious, the Court refused to quash the FIR and the GR case, dismissing the petition.
