<h1>Supreme Court dismisses Article 32 petition seeking quashing of multiple FIRs, directs petitioner to use CrPC remedies instead</h1> <h3>Vinod Kumar, IAS Versus Union of India & Ors.</h3> The SC declined to entertain a petition under Article 32 seeking quashing of multiple criminal complaints/FIRs, directing the petitioner to file ... Seeking quashing of Criminal complaints/FIRs - cases filed or initiated against the petitioner, where conviction was recorded against the petitioner - HELD THAT:- There are no reason to entertain this petition under Article 32. The petitioner, if so advised, can always file appropriate applications under the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking quashing of the individual criminal cases or complaints. The law on point as held by this Court in Superintendent and Remembrancer of Legal Affairs, West Bengal Vs. Mohan Singh & Ors. [1974 (10) TMI 110 - SUPREME COURT] is clear that dismissal of an earlier 482 petition does not bar filing of subsequent petition under Section 482, in case the facts so justify. Petition disposed off. The Supreme Court, in a petition filed under Article 32 seeking quashing of multiple criminal complaints/FIRs (Annexure P-3), declined to entertain the petition, noting that the petitioner may instead file appropriate applications under the Code of Criminal Procedure ('The Code') for quashing individual cases. The Court referenced prior convictions against the petitioner and observed that dismissal of earlier Section 482 CrPC petitions does not bar filing subsequent ones if justified, citing 'Superintendent and Remembrancer of Legal Affairs, West Bengal Vs. Mohan Singh & Ors.' (SCC 1975 (3) 706). The Court held that any future applications under the Code shall be considered on their own merits, unaffected by the dismissal of the present writ petition. Pending applications were disposed of.
