Where
should you register your complaint? |
|
|
- Even if the crime
is committed in an area beyond the
limits of any police station, a
complainant cannot be forced to go
to the concerned police station. You
can get your complaint registered at
any police station. It is the duty
of the police station to send your
complaint to concerned police
station.
- After registering
a complaint of a cognizable offence,
insist on a copy of FIR, free of
cost.
- In case of
non-cognizable offences, the police
do not have a right to investigate
the complaint without the orders of
the Court. However, your complaint
must be recorded and a receipt given
at police station.

Where to
register a complaint when an offence is
committed within the limits of railways? |
|
|
- When an offence
is committed either within the
jurisdiction of the railway or in a
running train, it is necessary to
register a complaint at the
concerned railway police station.
- “Mobile Police
stations” have also been established
in some long distance trains. Hence,
a complaint of an offence committed
in these running trains can be
lodged at the Mobile Police Station.
Besides this, necessary arrangement
to lodge a complaint with the Guards
is also available on long distance
trains.
