Case Laws Indian Laws SC

SC allows writ petition, directing consolidation of multiple FIRs across eight states into a principal FIR. The Court mandates that subsequent FIRs be treated as supplementary statements, with investigating officers permitted to file supplementary chargeesheets. Bail granted in the principal proceeding will extend to clubbed cases, with Special Courts authorized to require fresh bail applications for specific offenses under special enactments. The order specifically applies to IPC and state-level statutory offenses, with separate proceedings maintained for Chhattisgarh and Delhi jurisdictions, exercising constitutional powers under Articles 32 and 142.
