Headnote | Issue for consideration: Impugned order passed in Civil Writ Petition, filed by the second to fourth respondents for clubbing of eight FIRs filed against them, directing that no coercive action be taken against the aforesaid respondents in connection with the said FIRs, if justified. Administration of Justice – Abuse of process of law – Forum hunting – Six FIRs were registered against the second to fourth respondents, at the instance of the appellant – Two other FIRs were also registered against them by some other first informants, respondents sought quashing thereof, however, no interim relief was granted – Then a Writ Petition was filed on the civil side by the aforesaid respondents for clubbing the eight FIRs – Single Judge directed that no coercive action be taken against the respondents in connection with all eight FIRs – Appellant alleged forum hunting by respondents stating that the Civil Writ Petition for consolidation of eight FIRs was filed to avoid the roster Judge who had not granted interim relief:Held: Action of filing Civil Writ Petition by the respondents was nothing but a gross abuse of process of law and it was a classic case of forum hunting – It is wondered how a Civil Writ Petition for clubbing FIRs could be entertained – In the roster notified by the Chief Justice, there is a separate roster for Criminal Writ Petitions – If the Courts allow such sharp practices, the roster notified by the Chief Justice will have no meaning – The Judges have to follow discipline and ought not to take up any case unless it is specifically assigned by the Chief Justice – A Judge can take up a case provided either the cases of that category have been assigned to him as per the notified roster or the particular case |
