The Supreme Court has rebuked the UP Police on Monday. Chief Justice (CJI) Sanjeev Khanna said that what is happening in UP is wrong when the civil cases were converted into a criminal case.
.
The Chief Justice said, every day civil cases are being converted into criminal cases. This is absurd, not just giving money cannot be made a crime, this is a completely breakdown of the rule of law.
CJI said, put the Investigating Officer (IO) in the dock and make a criminal case. The officer should also get a lesson. This is not a way to file a charge sheet.
Will also tell the Deputy General of Police (DGP) that what is happening in UP should do something in it. He warned strictly that the police will be fined in such cases from further cases.

Case of check bounce in Greater Noida registered in criminal In fact, in Greater Noida, a case of money transactions was filed by the police in place of a criminal case instead of a civil case. The petitioner said that the police made the case criminal by taking money.

What is happening about cases in Uttar Pradesh is wrong. Every day civil cases are turning into criminal cases. This is a very absurd thing, not just to give money cannot be called a crime. I will also ask IO to come in the dock. Make IO in the dock and make a criminal case. We give these instructions, they too get a lesson, this is not a way to file a charge sheet. The surprising thing is that this is happening in UP every day, the lawyers have forgotten that there is also a citizen’s jurisdiction.
Police will be fined CJI Sanjeev Khanna said, if now such a case comes again, he will impose a fine on the police. CJI Khanna told DGP and IO to submit affidavits about the instructions given by the court in the judgment and IO will have to appear in the court and record their statement. Two weeks have been given to file affidavit and the case has been released for May 5.
The UP Police counsel objected to this direction of the court, but the CJI said that let them submit affidavits. The court also said that the proceedings against the accused will be stopped till then.
Such cases have been coming before This is not the first time the Chief Justice has marked the increasing trend of converting civil affairs into criminal cases. Last December 2024, he said that this practice is on a large scale in some states. He had said that repeated conversion of civil matters into criminal cases gives the burden of cases on the judiciary which can be dealt with by civil jurisdiction.
