Payment of Money as Ground to Quash FIR : Is it Legally Sustainable ?

 Payment of Money as Ground to Quash FIR : Is it Legally Sustainable in our Legal System ? 

The legal position was outlined by Hon'ble J. S.P. Garg in Hitachi Payment Services Pvt Ltd v. State [2018] GCtR 5200 (Delhi), where it was commented at page 3, paragraph 7 that "mere payment of Rs. 6.5 lacs to the legal heirs of the deceased due to humanitarian approach is not a ground to quash the FIR in question against the accused Rakesh Singh." While reaching this conclusion, reference was also made to the law laid down in Bhajan Lal Sharma v. State (GNCTD) [2016] GCtR 5199 (Delhi).
