Title: FIR and its value as a Substantial piece of Evidence
Post by: Sonali_Rani on July 11, 2015, 05:14:48 PM

FIR is A document by which a criminal case is initiated. it contained the fact of the prosecution case.  it can be used in the court of law to some extent. whether it can be the substantial evidence or not? it only can be in the trial for Contradicting the  previous statement of the informant under section 145 of the Evidence Act 1872 and also for the purpose of corroborating the statement under section 157 of the Evidence Act.

An 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.

Right Sunali, in some cases we can see that an FIR is lodged after a long time but the case is not vitiated.
