The rule of law has completely collapsed in UP- Uttar Pradesh Police reprimanded by Supreme Court, know the whole matter

New Delhi. The Supreme Court on Monday reprimanded the UP Police for converting civil cases into criminal cases and remarked that the rule of law has completely collapsed in Uttar Pradesh. The court said that converting a civil case into a criminal case cannot be accepted. The apex court has asked the Director General of Police (DGP) and the investigating officer of Uttar Pradesh to file an affidavit and explain why a criminal case was started in a civil dispute case. These comments were made on Monday by a three-member bench of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Sanjay Kumar and KV Vishwanathan during the hearing of the petition of Debu Singh and Deepak Singh seeking quashing of the criminal case registered against them. What is happening in Uttar Pradesh is wrong: Supreme Court The bench said that what is happening in Uttar Pradesh is wrong. Civil disputes are being converted into criminal cases every day. This is completely wrong. The case cannot be converted into a criminal case just for not paying money. This is wrong. The court expressed its displeasure when the lawyer told that the FIR was filed because the civil case would take time to be decided. Expressing its displeasure, the bench said that we will direct the investigating officer to stand in the dock and testify and explain how the criminal case has been made. The bench said that you cannot file a chargesheet like this. The investigating officer should be taught a lesson. You started criminal proceedings by filing a criminal case just because the civil case would take time. In this case, Debu Singh and Deepak Singh have filed an appeal through lawyer Chand Qureshi and challenged the order of Allahabad High Court and have demanded the cancellation of the FIR registered against them. It was a case of cheque bounce According to the petition, this was basically a case of cheque bounce. The Supreme Court has stayed the criminal proceedings pending in the trial court of Noida against both the accused but has clarified that the case of cheque bounce will continue against them. An FIR was lodged against both the accused in Sector 39 police station of Noida under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC. According to the petition, the father of both the accused had borrowed Rs 25 lakh from the complainant and in return his father had also issued him a cheque of Rs 25 lakh. As per the case, when the money was not returned, on receiving a complaint, the police registered a criminal case against the father as well as both the petitioners, which has been demanded to be cancelled in the petition. After the petition was rejected by the High Court, an appeal has been filed in the Supreme Court.
