Sukhjinder Singh vs State (N.C.T.) Of Delhi

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of dual FIRs being registered for the same offences, specifically under Sections 302, 201, 34, and 120B IPC. The Court held that the appellant was entitled to statutory bail under Section 167(2) of the Cr. P.C. due to the failure to file a charge-sheet within 90 days from the date of arrest in the first FIR. The Court ruled that the registration of a second FIR in New Delhi after the appellant was granted bail in Karnal was an attempt to circumvent the statutory provisions, thereby allowing the appeal and granting bail to the appellant.
