Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether multiple FIRs can be registered for the same incident under Section 154 and Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court held that while a single incident may give rise to multiple FIRs, it is essential that each FIR must reflect distinct and separate incidents or offenses. The judgment clarifies the procedural aspects of FIR registration and emphasizes the need for judicial scrutiny to prevent misuse of the FIR process.
