The person who reports the crime (complainant) has the legal right to get a free copy of the FIR from the police.
FIR (First Information Report) :
- A First Information Report (FIR) is a written crime report.
- It can be filed by the victim or a person who has witnessed (seen) or detected a crime.
- It can be given in writing or dictated a crime to a police officer who is supposed to write it down.
It must have the following information:
- The facts, i.e., date, time, and place related to the crime, if known.
- The name/address of the person who reports.
- The names or descriptions of the persons involved or suspected to be involved in crime.
- The name of witnesses (people who saw the crime being committed), if any.
- After an FIR has been recorded, the person who reports the crime signs it and keeps a copy of it. This is his/her legal right.
The Supreme Court has made the following rules (directions) regarding the filing of FIRs:
- A police station cannot refuse to accept an FIR even if the crime has been committed in an area that is not under its jurisdiction.
- It is bound to register an FIR even if the person reporting the crime cannot provide all the details required, e.g., the name of the victim and the details regarding the crime.
- If an FIR is lodged in a police station that does not have jurisdiction over the place of the crime, that police station must send the FIR to the appropriate police station.
