There are two commonly used definitions of the verb "to quash":
1. ...to annul or make void (a law, decision, etc.)
This is where it would be used in a court of law.
2. ...to subdue forcefully and completely; put down; suppress
As in to quash a revolt or rebellion.
In neither case is anything physically squeezed out of shape (e.g to squash a grape) and the two words have completely different meanings.
