FIR against kin in property row brings disrepute: HC

Junks Cases By Man Against Dad, Uncle’s Family

Ahmedabad: Filing an FIR against family members over a property dispute brings disrepute to the family and such disputes are best solved through civil litigation, the Gujarat high court has said. The court’s observation was made in response to two criminal complaints filed by a man against his nonagenarian father and other family members. The court quashed the FIRs filed by the son, saying that they “fall in the rarest of rare case”, and an investigation cannot be permitted in a pure civil dispute.
