In the case of HITESH ISHWARBHAI MISAREEYA & 1 other v. STATE OF GUJARAT & 1 other High Court of Gujarat rejected application filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code for quashing the FIR against the applicant due to settlement between the parties. The FIR was filed against the applicant for allegedly committing pre-natal diagnosis on victim for determination of sex of her fetus and then performing forcible abortion on her which led to death of the victim. The Gujarat High Court relied on the judgment given by Supreme Court in the case State of Madhya Pradesh v. Lakshmi Narayan and others and held that the offence committed in the present case was of a serious nature and offences under pre-conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostics Act effect society at large and settlement in such kind of offences cannot be accepted.
