Quashing requires a judicial assessment of whether the ends of justice justify interference, with due regard to the nature, gravity, and societal impact of the offence. An offence under Section 307 IPC is non-compoundable, and where the record showed a serious planned assault causing grievous head injury, a monetary settlement could not remove the criminal character of the act.
