    Case Summary: WPCR/313/2026 Decision: The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Smt. Lata Banjare and Smt. Lata Verma, who sought directions to register an FIR against respondents for allegedly creating and circulating morphed AI-generated photographs, physical assault, and caste-based abuse. The court held that the petitioners could pursue remedies through appropriate forums (Section 175(3) or Section 223 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023) before lower courts, relying on precedent from the High Court of Allahabad and its own earlier decision in WPCR No. 333 of 2020, which established that such matters should not be addressed through extraordinary writ jurisdiction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
