State Of U.P. & Anr vs Nitin Agnihotiri & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's order imposing costs on the State and the complainant for filing an FIR under Section 366 IPC was not justified, as there was no basis for such imposition. The Court emphasized that the police had conducted a proper investigation based on the complaint and found no lapses on their part. The Supreme Court quashed the imposition of costs, thereby upholding the procedural integrity of the investigation process.
