Quashing of FIR -- Termination of Pregnancy Without Husband's Consent -- Investigation stayed where FIR registered same day as complaint without scrutiny inspires no confidence
Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, S.528 -- Quashing of FIR -- Termination of Pregnancy Without Husband's Consent -- Registration of an FIR on the very same day as the complaint, without any intervening scrutiny by the investigating officer of the allegations, calls for circumspection and restraint by the police. Where the tone and tenor of the FIR do not inspire confidence in the complainant\'s narrative, a prima facie case for staying investigation pending consideration of quashing is made out.
