In India, a Zero FIR is an FIR (First Information Report) that can be filed at any police station, irrespective of the jurisdiction in which the crime was committed. The term “Zero FIR” comes from the fact that such an FIR is initially filed with the serial number “0” and is later transferred to the police station that has jurisdiction over the location where the crime occurred. This provision ensures that there is no delay in the registration of the FIR and that the process of investigation can commence immediately.

Key points about Zero FIR include:

1.Jurisdiction Independence: It can be filed at any police station regardless of where the incident took place.

2.Immediate Action: Facilitates prompt police action and investigation, preventing any delay in the registration of the crime.

3.Transfer of FIR: The FIR is transferred to the appropriate police station with jurisdiction for further investigation and formal registration.

4.Legal Basis: The concept of Zero FIR is based on the recommendations of the Justice Verma Committee, which was constituted after the Nirbhaya gang-rape case in 2012.

5.Purpose: It ensures that victims can report crimes without being turned away due to jurisdictional issues, thereby providing immediate legal recourse and support.
