FIR – If the core features of an offence are not stated, would not be a first information report relating to commission of a cognizable offence, as contemplated under S. 154 and that would mean that no investigation can be initiated by the police upon such an information.
An FIR must mention basic facts from which an inference can be drawn about the commission of a cognizable offence. If the core features of an offence are not stated in the FIR, it would not be a first information report relating to the commission of a cognizable offence, as contemplated under Section 154 of the Code of 1973, and no investigation can be initiated by the police upon such information.
