The Indian Police JournalSummary: The criminal justice system is set in motion once a complaint is registered as a First Information Report (FIR) under section 154 Cr.P.C. However, the common man faces hurdles in registering an FIR in a police station. Non-registration promotes impunity for the accused and causes injustice. It also biases the system in favor of the powerful few in society. Senior police officers and courts have time and again emphasized that free registration of crime is mandatory, yet compliance is not complete. We examine the reasons for this malaise and suggest ways about implementing the ideal of free and fair registration of FIRs.- Reproduced
