Скачать или смотреть What Is A Zero FIR ? ⚖️

The concept of zero FIRs is a relatively new one. It was instated following the infamous 2012 Nirbhaya case on the recommendation of the Justice Verma Committee. The intent was to place a legal obligation on officers to register an FIR, despite any lack of jurisdiction.
Zero FIRs, which get their name from the fact they are filed separately from regular FIRs, with the serial number ‘zero.' These FIRs are used to speed up the process of investigation for ‘cognisable’ offences.
Cognisable offences, in lay man's terms, are offences for which the police does not require warrant when carrying out an arrest. These can include:
Rape
Robbery
Murder
Theft

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO FILE A ZERO FIR?

According to the Indian Penal Code (IPC), a zero FIR can be filed in the same fashion as regular first information reports: information can be submitted orally or through writing by the victim, a family member, or anybody with knowledge of the incident.
After filing a zero FIR, it becomes the officer’s responsibility to forward the information to the station with jurisdiction over the area where the crime was committed.
