Gunjan v. State (NCT of Delhi)
Supreme Court of India2026 INSC 468Bench: Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice R. Mahadevan
FIR is liable to be quashed if bare reading does not disclose necessary ingredients to constitute alleged offences. When basic constituents of offences under Sections 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s) of SC/ST Act (occurrence in place within public view) and Section 506 IPC (intent to cause alarm) are missing, framing of charges is unsustainable.
