S. 173(8) CrPC | ‘Frivolous & vexatious proceedings be met with due sanctions’; SC quashes further investigation order in decade-old murder case
‘Even if the parties involved in a case themselves, with no valid justification attempt to delay the proceedings, the Courts need to be vigilant and nip any such attempt in the bud instantly. Pleadings with outrageous & ex facie unbelievable averments being made; Frivolous & vexatious proceedings be met with due sanctions to dissuade parties from resorting to such tactics.’
