    INTRODUCTION
     An FIR (First data Report) is
    the initial data of a cognizable
    offence recorded by a police
    officer-in-charge of a police
    station.

     FIR documents the victim's side


    if the story.

     The reason for recording an


    FIR is because it serves a tool
    to create a base for the police
    authorities to start
    investigations.
    COGNIZABLE AND NON-COGNIZABLE
    OFFENCES
    ROLE OF POLICE OFFER IN SUCH CASE
     A Cognizable offence is an
    offence wherein the police can
    make arrest without warrant. In
    these kinds of offences, the
    police can detain quickly once
    the offence is executed.

     Non Cognizable offence implies


    an offence for which implies a
    case where, the police has no
    power to capture without
    warrant. The police can't arrest
    the accused without a warrant
    and can't begin investigation.
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COGNIZABLE AND NON-
    COGNIZABLE OFFENCE
     The offence wherein the police suo motu
    takes notice of wrongdoing and for which
    does not need the permission of the court
    to make an arrest of the accused is known
    as a cognizable offence. While, in non-
    cognizable, police has no power to arrest
    an individual for his offences all alone,
    without earlier endorsement of court.

     In cognizable, the police can capture an


    individual with no warrant. While, if there
    should arise an occurrence of non-
    cognizable offence, a warrant must
    required for capture of a person.
    ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS OF
    AN FIR
     Piece of information. 

     Published.

     Recorded in writing.

     The principal act or offense,


    must be cognizable in nature.
     WHO CAN FILE AN
    FIR?

     WHERE TO FILE AN
    FIR?

     WHY AN FIR NEEDS


    TO BE FILED?

     IS THERE A TIME
    DURATION FIXED FOR
    FILING AN FIR?
    EVIDENTIARY VALUE OF AN FIR

     F.I.R is not a substantive piece of


    evidence.

     It is important for corroborating the


    statements made by the person
    recording it.

     Exceptions where F.I.R can be used as


    substantive piece of evidence –
    Section 145 and 157 of the Indian
    Evidence Act.

     F.I.R can be confessional or non –


    confessional in nature.
    DELAY IN FILING FIR

     Bad for prosecution's case.

     Officer in charge can ask for


    the reasons for delay.

     Delay in filing FIR in rape


    cases .
    DIIFERENCE BETWEEN FIR AND COMPLAINT
     The central matter of distinction between an FIR
    and a police complaint is that an FIR identifies
    with a cognizable offense while police complaints
    can be petitioned for both cognizable and non-
    cognizable class of offenses.

     In spite of the fact that FIR is like a complaint,


    there are contrasts regarding offenses they
    manage, punishments, legitimate outcomes,
    evidentiary worth, and so forth.

     Further, the FIR is needed to be filed at the police


    station close by the spot of commission of the
    wrongdoing, while the complaint can be recorded
    with a metropolitan magistrate or identical court
    too, with the end goal of requesting action on the
    matter.
    CONCLUSION

    To conclude, it can safely be said that to keep the


    wheels of our criminal justice framework moving,
    documenting of "FIR" is fundamental. The
    equivalent ought to be done sequentially.
