These observations were held by the Supreme Court in a criminal case on Monday, September 22, 2025 in Uttar Pradesh, where the bench was claimed to be against an individual in a dispute about the recovery of money.

The additional lawyer General Km Nataraj, who appeared for the Uttar Pradesh government, pointed out an increase in such complaints, and in cases such as the police, he said that he recorded the case allegedly allegedly allegedly allegedly made a crime and was allegedly registered and that he was allegedly not in the legal process.

Normally, in these complaints, he said he claimed that a criminal offense was made in a dispute to recover the money.

Justice Kant said that if the police understood the foresight and that a fir was not recorded where the crime was allegedly made, the police had taken the Apex Court for not following the 2013 Lalita Gambling decision.

The bench advised the police to apply a person to see if there was a civil or criminal case before arrest, while the abuse of the criminal law poses a serious threat to the justice distribution system.

“The courts are not rescue agencies to recover unpaid amounts of the parties. The judicial system cannot be allowed to be abused.” The upper court suggested that the states could assign a node officer for each region, preferably a retired region judge for each region, and that it was a civilian or criminal offense, and that the police could consult by the police to learn to progress and progress in accordance with the law.

The bench asked Nataraj to receive instructions within two weeks and to approve the court.

Recently, the Supreme Court recently marked the last tendency of the parties who stayed in criminal cases in civil disputes to rapidly dismiss their complaints.
