IMPORTANCE

An FIR is a very important document as it sets the process of criminal justice in motion. It is only after the FIR is registered in the Police Station that the police takes up investigation of the case.

Anyone who knows about the commission of a cognizable offence can file an FIR. It is not necessary that only the victim of the crime should file an FIR. A police officer who comes to know about a cognizable offence can file an FIR himself/herself.

As described in law,
  • When information about the commission of a cognizable offence is given orally, the police must write it down.

  • The person giving information or making a complaint has a right to demand that the information recorded by the police be read to him/her.

  • Once the information has been recorded by the police, it must be signed by the person giving the information.
