HC Refuses to Quash FIR Against Lawyer
A lawyer named Parkash Singh Marwah was stopped by traffic police in Chandigarh for not stopping at a zebra crossing.

They filed a case against him.
Marwah says the police are lying and that he is being targeted for his activism.
The court said they need to hear all the evidence in a trial to decide who is telling the truth.
