FIR Filing/Copy/Quashing

 FIR filing is the first legal step that sets the legal procedure in motion to help the victim get justice. If there is no FIR for a case or crime, the police cannot do anything. Once FIR is filed, the police gets into action and starts investigating the crime. 

 For FIR quashing, you must file a petition in the High Court because only the High Court has the power to quash FIR. Under Section 320, FIR is quashed on the basis of compromise between the parties. Under Section 482, if the court finds that a false FIR has been filed against a person under malicious motives, the FIR is quashed. .

You cannot simply file an FIR and then choose to withdraw it. Once filed, FIR cannot be withdrawn, only squashed and the power to do that lies with the High Court. So, you need a lawyer to do the proceedings in a correct and hassle-free manner.
