Supreme Court Seeks States’ Response On Plea To Merge FIRs In ₹792 Crore Falcon Invoice Scam

The Supreme Court has issued notice on a writ petition filed by Chartered Accountant Sharad Toshniwal seeking the consolidation of multiple FIRs registered against him in the ₹792 crore Falcon Invoice scam across six states.

A Bench of CJI BR Gavai, and Justices K Vinod Chandran and NV Anjaria heard the plea. Toshniwal submitted that he resigned from the company before the alleged scam began and was named in only one FIR.

The Court declined to grant interim protection but issued notice on his application seeking such relief. The matter is listed for further hearing after four weeks.
