However, one FIR is registered at Economic Offence Wing, New Delhi, being No.123/2019 registered on 06.07.2019. We hasten to add that Govt. of NCT of Delhi has no objection to club this FIR along with the principal FIR i.e., FIR No.206/2019 dated 12.02.2019, referred to above. 13. Accordingly, following the principle enunciated by this Court in Amish Devgan vs. Union of India & Ors., (2021) 1 SCC 1 , and in the peculiar facts of the present case, we, in exercise of power under Article 142 of the Constitution of India, accede to the relief claimed in terms of the prayer clause pertaining to consolidation of all FIRs, including registered in New Delhi, with FIR No.206/2019 as the principal FIR and for being proceeded with in accordance with law. For, we are also of the opinion that multiplicity of the proceedings will not be in the larger public interest as well. 14. It is brought to our notice that investigation in respect of some FIRs has been completed and even charge sheet(s) have been filed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), constituted by the State of Uttar Pradesh in respect of all these cases. In terms of this order, the chargesheet(s) filed in other cases shall stand merged with the charge sheet filed in the criminal case arising out of FIR No.206/2019 dated 12.02.2019. 15. Further, it will be open to the Investigating Officer in the case registered as FIR No.206/2019, to file a supplementary charge sheet which will be a composite chargesheet to deal with all the statements collated during the investigation in the other cases, including the statement of complainant in the respective FIR as being statement under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C. The supplementary chargesheet to be filed on the basis of the entire record so collected during the investigation in the respective cases will be then made the basis to proceed for trial against the petitioner(s) and named accused therein. 16. Furthermore, the trial shall proceed as per law from the stage of filing of the supplementary charge sheet. In case the Courts have already taken cognizance on the basis of chargesheet(s) filed in respective cases, those cases in terms of this order shall stand transferred and merged with the trial of the case arising from FIR No.206/2019. 17. 16. Furthermore, the trial shall proceed as per law from the stage of filing of the supplementary charge sheet. In case the Courts have already taken cognizance on the basis of chargesheet(s) filed in respective cases, those cases in terms of this order shall stand transferred and merged with the trial of the case arising from FIR No.206/2019. 17.
