Successive FIRs Quashed - Test of Sameness (Unity, Proximity, Continuity) Applies to Transaction | Independence Day Procession : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court set aside two FIRs lodged for the same Independence Day procession, holding that successive FIRs for a single continuous transaction breach the test of sameness and double-jeopardy safeguards. The ruling prevents duplicate FIR filings on identical facts, protecting accused persons from multiple prosecutions.
