STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs PRADEEP CHOUDHARY — Crl.A. No. 1316/1998

Summary: On August 12, 2004, the Supreme Court allowed State of Rajasthan's appeal against the High Court's order quashing FIR No. 71 of 1994. The Court found that the High Court erred in quashing the FIR based on two earlier FIRs filed on the same allegations, as the present FIR was not on identical facts. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that investigation proceed further, with the final form to be submitted upon completion. The Court clarified that the accused may subsequently approach the High Court for quashing prosecution after cognizance is taken, which would be considered on individual merits.
