Quashing of fir

The accused is out on bail.  The Charge Sheet has been filed by the police.  The trial is yet to start, or say it is at the initial stage in

the Hon'ble Sessions Court.  Under the circumstances, can I go to the Hon'ble High Court for quashing of the FIR.  



Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether an individual can petition the High Court to quash an FIR (First Information Report) even after a charge sheet has been filed and the accused is out on bail. While it's legally possible to approach the High Court, the success hinges on the specific merits and exceptional circumstances of the case. The charge sheet itself must not disclose any offence when taken at face value for quashing to be considered.

You have a legal right to approach the Hon. High Court for quashing of the FIR, however success of the application will depend on the details and merit of your case.

Wait for the police to file charge-sheet.

What is the advise of the lawyer engaged / paid by you who is well aware about the facts and circumstances of the case, an able, competent and intelligent enough to satisfy your question(s) if it is a real story ?

The High Court could be moved under exceptional circumstances. However, charge-sheet is quashed only in exceptional circumstances when the charge-sheet taken as whole and accepted in its entirety does not disclose the offence, as charged.
