First information report section 154 of crpc
dear students,
FIR means ‘First Information Report.’ FIR is the first document prepared in criminal proceedings. FIR is a document that places on record the victim's side of the story. FIR acts as a tool on which police authorities base and start their investigations. Hence, it is pretty clear that an FIR plays a vital role in criminal proceedings.
Now, as the importance of an FIR is established, one must understand the legal perspectives attached to it. Section 154[1] of the Criminal Procedure Code (hereinafter referred to as CrPC), 1973, makes it clear that an FIR can be registered in cognizable offenses[2] only. Cognizable crimes are those offenses in which a police officer can arrest an accused without a warrant. Due to the nature of gravity involved in the offences, police authorities can arrest without a warrant under CrPC. The classification of cognizable and non-cognizable offences is furnished under the first schedule of CrPC.
I have also discussed the following case laws :---
1. King Emperor v. Khwaja Nazir Ahmad
2. state of WB v. S. N. Basak
3. Lalita Kumari v. others and states
4. State of Orissa v. Sharal Chandra Sahu
