The petitioners, a pharma proprietor and an associate from Puducherry, sought to quash an FIR (Crime No.27 of 2025) registered by the CBCID, Puducherry, on a complaint by Sun Pharma Laboratories Limited, alleging large-scale counterfeiting of Sun Pharma's branded medicines across multiple states. The petitioners argued that: (1) multiple FIRs for the same set of allegations are impermissible; (2) offences under Chapter IV of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 can only be investigated and prosecuted by a Drugs Inspector under Section 32 of that Act, not by the police; and (3) no offence under the Copyright Act or BNS was made out on the facts alleged. The petitioners relied on the Supreme Court judgment in Union of India v. Ashok Kumar Sharma (2021) 12 SCC 674, which held that police officers cannot register an FIR or investigate cognizable offences under Chapter IV of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, and that such cases must be handed over to the Drugs Inspector. The judgment text provided captures the arguments and cited precedents but does not record the final order/outcome of the court.
