Four connected writ petitions were filed before the Chhattisgarh High Court at Bilaspur by multiple petitioners challenging the legality and validity of FIR No. 464/2025 dated 24.09.2025, registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Raipur, under Sections 316 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The petitioners, who are proprietors of trading firms dealing in steel products, contended that the dispute arose purely from commercial transactions involving sale, purchase, and alleged non-payment of dues, and was essentially civil in nature. They argued that the criminal machinery was being misused as a pressure tactic to recover alleged outstanding amounts, and that even taking the FIR allegations at face value, the essential ingredients of the alleged offences were not made out. The petitions were heard together as they arose from the same FIR and involved substantially identical facts and reliefs, with WPCR No. 539/2025 treated as the lead case. The judgment text provided does not record a final disposal or outcome, as the order appears to be incomplete.
