This query is : Resolved
I had filed an FIR on Tuesday and today is Thursday, I still haven't received a copy of my FIR, Is this the normal behavior?
When I checked with the cops they say it takes a weeks time for me to get the copy of FIR.
Please help

you are entitled to copy of FIR free of cost . if copy not furnished lodge complaint with Supdt of police
Section 154 reads as under:
154. (1). Every information relating to the commission of a cognizable
offence, if given orally to an officer in charge of a police station, shall be
reduced to writing by him or under his direction, and be read over to the
informant; and every such information, whether given in writing or reduced to
writing as aforesaid, shall be signed by the person giving it, and the substance
thereof shall be entered in a book to be kept by such officer in such form as
the State Government may prescribe in this behalf;
(2). A copy of the information as recorded under Sub-section (1) shall be
given forthwith, free of cost, to the informant.
(3). Any person aggrieved by a refusal on the part of an officer in charge
of a police station to record the information referred to in Sub-section (1) may
send the substance of such information, in writing and by post, to the
Superintendent of Police concerned, who if satisfied that such information
discloses the commission of a cognizable offence, shall either investigate the
case himself or direct an investigation to be made by any police officer
subordinate to him, in the manner provided by this Code, and such officer shall
have all the powers of an officer in charge of the police station in relation to
that offence.

What experts say is legally correct but in practice it is every body knowledge they take your application keep it with them,keep their diary open for several days and register as per their wish or even do not bother to register,and do not listen victims' imploration,some time leading him to weeping before magistrate u/s 156(3),experts often advise.
So wait and watch how does it terminate.???

I finally got a copy after I called ACP in front of them and the FIR copy was given to me instantly, since I had to reach the commissioner, then the ACP.
Can everybody in this country afford to do this?
Is our law system so bad?
