Dear sir,

You can file for quashing of FIR before the High court and state the case. Collect all the evidence regarding the innocence and state before the Court.

Thank you

Quashing is to be done only in exceptional circumstances 

 

2) HC is reluctant to quash fir pending completion of investigations 

 

3) if there are allegations made against you in FIR and charge sheet HC would direct you to face trail before trial court 

 

4) you can apply for discharge before trial court

Discharge application is the remedy provided to the person who has been charged maliciously. If the false allegations have been made against him, he can file an application for discharge. He is entitled to acquittal if the evidence provided to the court is not sufficient to prove the offences levelled against that person.

This application can be filed even before the charges have been set against him if the judge contemplates that there are no sufficient grounds available for implementing the proceedings against the accused.

In your case, you should file an application for discharge as the chargesheet has been filed in your case and no proma facie has been made against you by way of irrefutable evidence.

Alternatively, file for quashing of FIR under Section 482 of Crpc in High Court FIR an be quashed by the High Court if the Court is satisfied that the accused is falsely implicated, FIR is bogus and frivolous and chargesheet also shows no prima facie case being made out.

Dear Sir

For the FIR to be quashed you will have to establish that it has been either frivolously filed with some mala fide intention or that it lacks content and there is no prima facie evidence that points to you.

Courts usually quash FIR where there is no chance of the accused person being convicted and there is no point in continuing the criminal trial.

Thank you

- You can approach the High court for quashing the FIR anytime , however it is suggested to file the same after getting the charge sheet copy from the court. 

- Further , after going through the charge sheet , if you think there is no evidences against the allegations levelled , then FIR can be quashed.

- Further , if she not having any documentary proof for fighting and threatening , then the section 326/506 can be dropped .

Since the challan has been filed in the court, the court may begin trial very shortly.

You may have to engage the services of a skilled lawyer to participate in the trial proceedings and defend your interests.

You have not mentioned any section of law in your previous post, hence you may do not get frustrated over the developments, since it is a false case, let your advocate handle the case effectively to get the allegations nullified during the trial proceedings.

You can file a discharge petition before the trial court on the same day besides file a quash petition under section 482 cr.p.c. before high court simultaneously.
