UPKAR SINGH vs VED PRAKASH .

The Supreme Court referred the case to a larger bench due to doubts about the correctness of the judgment in T.T. Antony vs. State of Kerala, 2001 (6) SCC 181. The Court examined the legality of the registration of a cross FIR under Sections 147, 148, 149, and 307 IPC after the commencement of an investigation, emphasizing that a fresh FIR is not mandatory if the investigation reveals a different version. The Court ultimately held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's revision petition was not justified, necessitating a re-evaluation of the legal principles involved.
