A crime of ‘serious nature’ should be treated as a crime against the society and not an individual and such a case cannot be quashed even if the offender and victim reach an amicable settlement, the Bombay high court has said.
A division bench of justices N.H. Patil and P.D. Naik on 25 August refused to quash a case lodged against 12 people on charges of attempt to murder and various other sections of the IPC. The accused had petitioned the high court seeking to quash the FIR lodged against them on the ground that they have amicably settled the dispute with the complainants.
