No, multiple FIRs on the same cause of action are not legally allowed. They can be Quashed as a misuse of law. Only if there are entirely separate incidents with clear, distinct allegations can fresh FIRs be filed. Otherwise, it amounts to harassment and abuse of process . Always consult a lawyer before taking such steps to avoid legal consequences .

Response: Yes, FIRs can be filed in different police stations if the allegations relate to different incidents and causes of action that occurred in different jurisdictions. However, if the complaints are based on the same facts or cause of action, multiple FIRs may be treated as duplicative and the accused may approach the High Court under CrPC Sec. 482 to quash the second FIR. If the allegations are distinct (e.g., Stridhan in one city, physical abuse in another), police can register separate FIRs. Each FIR must be based on independent facts, not repetition of earlier ones.
