casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 003683/2000 The Supreme Court dismissed Punit Kumar Nigam's petition challenging an FIR registered under IPC Sections 363, 366, and 420 (lodged by Rakhi Tiwari's parents). The Court held that the mere claim of lawful marriage does not ground for quashing the FIR, as the investigating officer retains freedom to reach independent conclusions. However, the Court clarified that dismissal of the petition is without prejudice to the petitioner's right to seek bail under Sections 438 or 439 CrPC.
