Particular Details
Court Supreme Court of India
Citation (2004) 13 SCC 292
Bench Justice N. Santosh Hegde & Justice B.P. Singh
Subject Second FIR / Counter FIR
Relevant Provision Section 154 CrPC (Registration of FIR)
Key Issue Whether counter FIR by opposite party is barred after the first FIR is already registered.

⚖ Background Facts

  1. A dispute occurred between two rival parties.

  2. One party lodged the first FIR alleging assault and criminal acts.

  3. The opposite party later filed a complaint narrating a different version of the same incident.

  4. The High Court quashed the second FIR relying on the principle in T.T. Antony v. State of Kerala, which held that second FIR is not permissible for the same occurrence.

The matter reached the Supreme Court.

⚖ Legal Question

❓ Whether a counter complaint by the opposite party is barred as a second FIR?

⚖ Supreme Court Decision

The Supreme Court reversed the High Court decision and held:

✔ Counter FIR by the opposite party is legally permissible.

The Court clarified that the rule in T.T. Antony applies only when:

  • the same complainant files another FIR regarding the same incident.

But it does not bar the rival party from filing a complaint presenting its version.

⚖ Key Legal Principles (Ratio)

Principle Explanation
Counter FIR allowed Opposite party can lodge FIR describing their version of the same incident.
T.T. Antony limited The rule against second FIR does not apply to cross cases.
