yes. you can file quash petition sir.

quash petition can be as "quash the fir" or "quash the charge sheet".

but once trial commenced after charge sheet filed, then you can not invoke the quash proceedings.

You may file discharge petition in the trial court or approach High Court under Section 482 CrPC.

However, such petitions are allowed only in exceptional cases where the charge and police report taken in their entirety and accepted in their face value do not disclose any offence.

Going for a quash is only 30% success.

Better proceed on the case on merits, quash generally not allowed.
