State of Uttar Pradesh vs. Accused — Bail application in false promise of marriage case

A court in Kerala has rejected the bail applications of four individuals accused in connection with a fatal car accident involving a Mini Cooper vehicle. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.

The Supreme Court ruled that a private individual can file a criminal complaint under Section 200 of the CrPC for offences punishable under Section 125-A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The court held that the bar under Section 195 of the CrPC, which typically requires a public servant to file a complaint for certain offences, does not apply to this specific provision.

Former PFI chairman E Abubacker is facing charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. He has filed multiple bail pleas and requests for transfer to private hospitals for medical treatment, which have been contested by the prosecution and addressed by the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court.
