FIR can be quashed even in Rape case U/s 482 Cr. P. C.

The Delhi High Court stated that “Although, as per the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Parbat Bhai Aahir and Ors. vs. State of Gujarat & Ors. (AIR 2017 SC 4843), the FIR should not be quashed in case of rape as it is a heinous offence, but when complainant/prosecutrix herself takes the initiative and states that she wants to give quietus to the dispute, in my considered opinion, in such cases, there will be no purpose in continuing with the trial.
Taking into account the aforesaid facts and in view of ratio laid down CRL.M.C.1034/2021 Page 6 of 6 by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Sonu @ Subhash Kumar (Supra), this Court is inclined to quash the present FIR as no useful purpose would be served in prosecuting petitioner further.”
