Can FIR under Section 420 IPC be quashed after NBW?
Can I quash an FIR registered under Section 420 IPC, which is 10 years old, especially when a non-bailable warrant has been issued by the Sessions Court?
An FIR under Section 420 IPC can be quashed even after many years, but only by approaching the High Court under inherent powers. Since a non-bailable warrant (NBW) is issued by the Sessions Court, first you must seek cancellation/recall of NBW by appearing through counsel or surrendering. After that, you can file a quashing petition under Section 482 CrPC/528 BNSS if there is compromise, no evidence, or abuse of process. Immediate legal appearance is necessary to avoid arrest.
