Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of FIR No. 442 of 2012, which was registered for offences under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 504, and 506 IPC. The Court held that the High Court's refusal to quash the FIR was justified as a prima facie case existed, but it did not address the issue of whether a second FIR could be registered for the same cause of action. The Court emphasized the need for clarity on the registration of multiple FIRs for identical allegations, indicating that the matter requires further examination.
