Re: Joint Petition
Its the court discretion always, however you can take chance for quashing before the Hon'ble High Court.
Re: Joint Petition
First of all I want to made it clear that Section 409 and 406 can not be applied jointly. Only 409 or 406 single can be applied. The court can not discharge you. The all you can do is that the accused can file quashing of F.I.R and complainant will join with you and file an affidavit to the same fact and the High court can quash the F.I.R. but if Section 409 is applied then it shall be difficult.
