“Trend to lodge false FIRs”: Punjab & Haryana High Court slaps ₹1 lakh costs on woman who withdrew complaint of outraging modesty

However, Justice Jain found that this was a fit case to pass an order against the complainant so that such false, frivolous and manipulated FIRs are not registered leading to a waste of the state machinery’s time.

“It is a fit case where appropriate action under law by invoking the provisions of Indian Penal Code, 1860, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and other related provisions against complaint deserves to be invoked so that such kind of false, frivolous and manipulated FIRs are not registered, which ultimately lead to wastage of time of the State Machinery, which is thrown into action.”

Ultimately, it is the tax payer money which has been wasted on account of the false FIR lodged by the complainant, the judge added.
