FIR: First Information Report

FIR stands for First Information Report. It is a written document prepared by Police when they receive an information about a cognizable offence.

In a cognizable offence, a Police officer has an authority to make an arrest without warrant.

It is a complaint generally filed by the victim or someone else on his/her behalf. When the FIR is registered by the Police, a signed copy is also given to the victim or the same person who filed the FIR. Police cannot refuse to register a FIR as it is against the law.
