482 can be invoked to seek quashing of a FIR if it can be established that allegations in the complaint, if accepted as correct, do not make out a case.

Dear Gentleman:

Sorry to know about the state of mess you are in. Please note that it is the quashing of FIR under section 482 Cr P C. Section 482 is the superintendence powers of Hon'ble High Court of any state. You have not mentioned whether in your case, the investigation has been completed and charge sheet has been filed by the police or not. It is always good to look into the charge sheet and the evidence gathered by the police to examine the issue of quashing of FIR.
