Question

who files the FIR in civics

Answer 1

FIR is an important document because it sets the process of criminal justice in motion. It is only after the FIR is registered in the police station that the police take up investigation of the case. Anyone who knows about the commission of a cognizable offence, including police officers, can file an FIR.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ideally, an FIR should be filed in the police station that has jurisdiction over the area where the offence has been committed. But, this is not essential. An FIR may be filed in any any police station. It is the duty of the police to forward the FIR to the appropriate police station.
