fir

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 14 November 2010 This query is : Resolved
in a criminal trial, the police initially does not file the original copy of the FIR with the court. it files a xerox copy. only when the trial starts and the complainant refers to the fir , is the original copy filed. can someone tell me why is it like this?. why first the xerox copy , then the original?

This how the things are done as the original fir remains with the case diary.

word is not original but copy of the FIR is to be sent by every police station immediately after its lodging to concerned criminal court. If zerox copy was deposited then also it comes within the definition of copy hence no benefit can be given to the accused if the original copy is submitted with charge-sheet/challan.

Who says that police are not submitting the original FIR. In Orissa they are submitting the original , in the event of registration of a case for cognizible offence.
