ABCD vs Union of India & Ors

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

In this writ petition, the applicant sought to quash an FIR that contained insinuations accusing the respondent of causing harm. The applicant alleged being hit by a car and suspected the respondent's involvement. The Supreme Court found that the FIR was based on mere suspicions without substantiation. Rather than quashing the FIR, the Court initiated suo motu contempt proceedings against the petitioner for potentially misusing the legal process through unsubstantiated accusations, directing the petitioner to appear in person to show cause.
