As per case facts, an FIR was registered against the petitioner under Sections 304-A & 279 IPC due to a fatal accident involving his JCB and a motorcycle. The petitioner ... was convicted by the learned JMIC. The complainant, father of the deceased, later entered into a compromise deed with the petitioner. The petitioner appealed to the High Court seeking to quash the FIR and subsequent proceedings, including the conviction, based on this compromise. The question arose whether an FIR, and proceedings therefrom, for an offence under Section 304-A IPC / Section 106 BNS, 2023, can be quashed on the basis of a compromise/settlement. Finally, the High Court dismissed the petition, unequivocally stating that an FIR for an offence under Section 304-A IPC / Section 106 BNS, involving death, cannot be quashed solely on the basis of a compromise/settlement between the accused and the victim's family, as the deceased is the real victim and the crime has a serious societal impact.
