Lakshya Sen's big relief; SC quashes FIR in birth certificate forgery case, says criminal proceedings unwarranted
A bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar said the continuation of criminal proceedings against Sen is unwarranted and amounts to abuse of the process of court.
The top court had earlier issued notices to the Karnataka government and complainant M G Nagaraj, who alleged that birth certificates of Lakshya Sen and his brother Chirag Sen were forged.
The top court was hearing a plea challenging the February 19 order of the Karnataka High Court which rejected the petitions filed by Sen, his family members, and his coach U Vimal Kumar.
The high court ruled there was prima facie evidence warranting an investigation into the case.
The case stems from a private complaint filed by Nagaraj, who alleged Sen's parents Dhirendra and Nirmala Sen, along with his brother, coach, and an employee of the Karnataka Badminton Association, were involved in "falsifying" the birth records.
