The Supreme Court upheld a ₹2 lakh penalty imposed on a Tamil Nadu police inspector for not registering an FIR (First Information Report) and using abusive language. This decision reaffirms the duty of the police to register FIRs promptly when a cognizable offense is reported and to conduct themselves with appropriate decorum.
