#False FIR

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to an accused facing six identical FIRs filed on the same day, emphasizing that a police-confessed statement under BNS is inadmissible without corroboration and that repetitive, unsubstantiated complaints amount to abuse of process. This ruling reinforces that procedural fairness and evidentiary integrity must override mechanical prosecution in BNS cases.

The Karnataka High Court ruled that filing a retaliatory FIR after a genuine complaint and a 'B' final report, in defiance of a court injunction, amounts to abuse of process under Section 482 CrPC. The judgment quashed criminal proceedings under the SC/ST Act, emphasizing that land disputes cannot be criminalized through malicious complaints.

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that a consensual relationship, even if followed by refusal to marry, does not attract penal provisions under Section 69 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita unless fraudulent intent is proven at the time of intercourse. The court granted anticipatory bail, emphasizing that post-relationship conduct alone cannot establish criminal liability.
