The Supreme Court recently declined to club multiple FIRs where the offenses against the petitioner involved not only provisions of the Indian Penal Code(IPC) but also invoked various state enactments.
A Delhi Court yesterday pulled up the Delhi Police for illegally clubbing 22 complaints in one FIR in connection with a Delhi riots case and said that it cannot be a party to such “illegal approach”.
“Will police learn only if costs are imposed on them to be recovered from their salaries?” a bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and PK Chavan opined.
Supreme Court reserved its order in the plea by Times Now anchor Navika Kumar seeking clubbing of the cases registered in connection with the controversial remarks made against Prophet Muhammed
The Supreme Court directed the clubbing and transfer of FIRs registered against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her comments on Prophet Muhammad.
