Question: A fake fir has been registered against me? A friend of my who is a lawyer said that file a Criminal Misc. Application in the High Court under section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR. I don’t know the meaning of what does the criminal Misc. application means because my uncle who is an advocate said file a Criminal Misc. Petition. I am not in a position to ask what does it means to my friend & uncle because of our relationship. So can any one explain me the meaning of the above words in criminal law?

A person may file an application u/s 482 of Cr.P.C. for quashing the FIR lodged against him/her. The High Court has power u/s 482 to quash the FIR where it appears the FIR is fake. The High Court may grant interim order till the disposal of the said application.

In Criminal Law application may file u/s 482 Cr.P.C. or any other section prescribed by law. The application can file in a petition or separately. The petition may file u/Article 226/227/etc. provided by the Constitution of India where the fundamental/legal rights are violated. In your quarry section 482 provides remedy for you. So the Cr. Misc. application will lie in your case.
