Any criminal proceedings can be quashed on the principles laid down for it u/s 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code. You must try to fit into recent judgment in case of Jeffrey J. Diermeier & Another Versus State Of West Bengal & Another of supreme court delivered on 14-05-2010 which extensively discusses the issue of quashing.The proceedings will have to filed in the High Court.
