Delhi High Court, while maintaining one FIR, quashed the other four lodged in March last year at the Jaffrabad Police Station
The Delhi High Court has quashed four FIRs lodged for the alleged offences of looting and setting on fire a compound during the northeast Delhi riots last year, saying there cannot be a second FIR and fresh investigation for the same cognisable offence. The High Court said five separate FIRs cannot be registered for the very same incident as it is contrary to the laws laid down by the Supreme Court. While maintaining one FIR, it quashed the other four lodged in March last year at the Jaffrabad Police Station.More Related News
