#civil suit injunction

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that a certified copy of an FIR, already declared false by a criminal court, lacks evidentiary value and cannot be admitted in a civil suit under CPC Order VIII Rule 14(3), regardless of belated filing. This reinforces that judicial integrity trumps procedural leniency when documents are fundamentally unreliable, affecting litigants seeking to rely on tainted police records in property disputes.

Madhya Pradesh High Court quashes criminal proceedings under Section 164 BNSS where a civil suit with temporary injunction is already pending, reinforcing that parallel proceedings in possession disputes amount to abuse of process. The ruling aligns with Supreme Court precedent, protecting litigants from vexatious criminal litigation during ongoing civil adjudication.
