Quashing of FIR is possible in Sessions Court and the courts above it.

Final Report implies that there isn't enough material on offer for the jurisdictional magistrate to take cognisance of the matter!

1. Sessions Court has no power to quash a FIR as suggested by expert Mr. Jahangir.
2. At any stage of the case petition for quashing FIR can be filed/ entertained / allowed by High Court, however, Supreme Court shall not admit such petition.
3. What is your locus standie to the query ?
4. Consult your (or any other local prudent) lawyer for better appreciation of facts, analyse, guide and proceed.
