data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As elucidated herein above, the law articulates a smooth way for FIR registration, but the reality often mocks at the intention of the legislature.<\/p><p>It is not uncommon to witness that the police often refuse to register an FIR despite providing the information disclosing the cognizable offence. Many visits to SHO, Superintendent of Police often go in vain and at last, a complainant\/ victim gets compelled to approach the court by paying hefty litigation fee.<\/p><p>Not just above, the courts due to insurmountable work load, often take months to direct the police officials to register the FIR. Moreover, the plight of the complainants\/ victims can get aggravated if the Magistrate is of the opinion that the case doesn\u2019t call for FIR registration or the complainant(s)\/ victim(s) come after a long delay.<\/p><p>There may be many reasons which, in some cases, explain the unwillingness of a police official to record an FIR. It has been noted many times in order to maintain a statistic or show a decrease in the crime rate of their respective area, an official may discourage a person or the family of the victim to register an FIR.<\/p><p>The police may also be hesitant to take upon investigation into matters that have a political undercurrent. Commenting on the issue of non-registration of FIRs, former Police Commissioner of Delhi, Ved Marwah said, \u201c<em>You will be surprised to know that the pressure comes from higher-up, the political leadership to keep the crime statistics low. They don\u2019t want an astronomical number of rape cases at the end of a year which will provoke the media to designate a city as the crime capital. I feel it\u2019s a systemic problem and will only go away with police reforms coming into place. Unless we recruit the right kind of people, train them to be sensitive to people\u2019s problems and motivate them to lodge complaints, things will not change<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><p>A delay in registering an FIR may also discredit the evidentiary value. Although an FIR is not always considered as a piece of substantive evidence, however in exceptional cases such as in a dying declaration, an FIR may be considered as substantial evidence which is good enough to support the order of conviction.\u00a0It has thus been observed time and again by courts that an FIR should be registered soon after the crime before the informant\u2019s memory starts to fade and to ensure that minimum time is available for tampering of facts. Hence, a delay in filing an FIR may cause an irreparable damage to the trustworthiness of the statement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4b5e384b elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height curve-section2 elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"4b5e384b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6148920f\" data-id=\"6148920f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3e854c7b elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3e854c7b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e619855\" data-id=\"3e619855\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62722644 last-col\" data-id=\"62722644\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-555146e4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"555146e4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-59da5642\" data-id=\"59da5642\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c2affed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c2affed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is the procedure when the police refuse to entertain your complaint?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e03ac6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e03ac6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Step 1: Registered post complaint &#8211;

It\u2019d be futile to expect that the police official may behave differently in one\u2019s case or perform its job without any undue delay. Ergo, the solution lies in utilizing the remedies and options furnished by law.<\/p><p>The first thing is to approach the police officials with a written complaint disclosing the date of the offence, details of the accused and the other necessary details which the circumstances warrant. Further, the complaint must be backed up by evidence. It is often observed that the complainants\/ victims fail to provide evidence at the beginning and subsequently, lose the track. It\u2019s always beneficial to furnish the complaint in duplicate and receive the dairy no. on the duplicate of the complaint.

Further, it won\u2019t be harmful if the recent case laws are cited to assist the magistrate in directing the police official.<\/p><p>At this point it is imperative to note that these remedies must be exhausted by the aggrieved in a chronological manner, as has been observed by the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court in the case of\u00a0<strong><em>Sakiri Vasu vs. State of Uttar Pradesh &amp; Ors<\/em><\/strong><em>,<\/em>\u00a0that\u00a0if a person has a grievance that his FIR has not been registered by the police or proper investigation is not being done, then the remedy available to the aggrieved person is not to go to the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, but to approach the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) first.<\/p><p>The aforesaid solutions may seem fundamental in nature, but more often than not the complainants\/ victims often fail to comply with the aforesaid procedure on a timely basis which often bereft them of justice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File a Register FIR Home Our Services Personal Legal Services Criminal Law Registration of FIR in India Registration of FIR How to set the criminal law in motion when the police officials refused to entertain a complaint?
