This is settled law
that second FIR or subsequent FIR relating to the same case cannot be registered
whether by the police in section 154 Cr.P.C. or through the orders of court
under section 156(3) Cr.P.C.
The
Supreme Court in its plethora of judgments time and again reiterated the law by
holding that second FIR in same case cannot be registered, unless:-
The
second is cross FIR or counter FIR of the first FIR already registered or
Where
the incidents are separate ;offences are similar of different or
Where
the subsequent crime of such magnitude that it does not fall within the ambit
and scope of first FIR, or
When
investigation of one FIR is in no way dependent upon other, neither inter-linked
nor interdependent, were lodged by different persons in relation to different occurrences
which alleged to have been committed at different point of time against
different people for different offences.
