Dear Querist

if there is any strong evidence in your favour the you may file a quashing petition before high court u/s 482 of Cr.P.C read with article 226 of Indian Constitution.

1. You can apply for quashing of any criminal case.

2. However, the decision to apply to the HC has to be a carefully arrived at decision and not one which smacks of recklessness.

3. Your query is silent on the nexus between your inter-caste marriage and the registration of case. What is the allegation against you?

4. If you had attained the marriageable age as on the date of your marriage then you were free to marry any one.

It is advisable to file a quashing case only when you have clinching evidence to show that the case had been filed due to enmity out of the inter caste marriage performed. The quashing power of a high court is discretionary and thus is sparingly used so be cautious.

2. The petition will be allowed if there is no strong case from the part of the police and the defense you have is factually showing that the FIR was a falsely lodged with intention to trouble or due to the personal enmity.

3. what is the stage of the case ,did the police file the charge sheet?
