As per case facts, government employees (respondent Nos.2 to 4) on night duty were stopped and assaulted by the petitioners (Inderjeet Suhag and Akshay Suhag) and others at their complaint ... center. The petitioners also obstructed government work and damaged property. An FIR was registered against them, and the trial court took cognizance. The petitioners sought to quash the FIR based on a compromise deed with the victims. The question arose whether an FIR, where the complainant/victim is a public servant, can be quashed based on a compromise, especially when that public servant has not obtained administrative approval for the settlement. Finally, the High Court dismissed the petition. It ruled that the alleged offenses were against government officials performing their official duties, classifying it as a public rather than a private dispute. The Court emphasized that public servants cannot settle such criminal cases without prior permission from the concerned competent administrative authority.
