Police meri FIR darj nahi kar rahi. Main kya kar sakta hoon?

Simple answer

Agar complaint se cognizable offence (jismein police bina warrant arrest kar sakti hai) banta hai, toh usually police ko FIR darj karni hi padti hai. Mana kare toh likhit complaint post se district SP ko bhejo. Wahan se bhi kuch na ho toh Magistrate ke paas application do.

Real-life examples

Chennai mein Lakshmi se chaaku dikha kar loot hui. Thane ne sirf 'application' li, FIR darj nahi ki. Loot serious cognizable offence hai, isliye Lakshmi ne likhit complaint post se SP ko bheji, aur SP ne investigation ka order diya.

Parking ko lekar Joseph ke padosi ne use gaaliyan di. Police ne baat register mein likhi aur Magistrate ke paas jaane ko kaha. Ye sahi ho sakta hai: aisa insult non-cognizable offence hai, isliye Magistrate ke order ke bina police iski investigation nahi kar sakti.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1Complaint likho: kya hua, kab, kahan, kisne kiya aur kisne dekha. Ek copy apne paas rakho.
2Thane mein complaint do aur FIR aur uski free copy maango. Mana karein toh apni copy par thane ki receiving stamp lagwao.
3Complaint likh kar registered ya speed post se district ke SP (Superintendent of Police) ko bhejo. Post ki receipt sambhal kar rakho.
4SP bhi action na le toh Magistrate ke paas affidavit ke saath application do, saath mein complaint aur post receipts lagao. Lawyer ki help lo.
