Yes. An FIR can be quashed by the Delhi High Court under Section 528 BNSS (formerly Section 482 CrPC) if the High Court is satisfied that the FIR discloses no cognisable offence, or continuing prosecution would be an abuse of process of law. An experienced criminal lawyer can assess the merits and file a quashing petition.
Regular bail is applied for after a person has been arrested.
