This query is : Resolved
What is the difference between a csr and a fir? I recently lost my laptop and when I went to the police station to complain they gave me csr instead of a fir. Should I ask them for the fir or will this be enough to recover my laptop.
Thanks in advance for helping.

Police has made the offence as non-cognizable means no effort shall be made by them to race your lost item.

The querists approach this site for appropriate legal answers to many of their queries.
Therefore we are bound to indicate the legal position. In this case, the querist has asked for the difference between CSR and the FIR.
Basically, while FIR has the legal status and implications, no such legal status is attached to the entries in the CSR. Therefore it is always better to insist for and get an FIR registered.
It will not be a surprise to me, if the above query has been inspired by a three-series article in the HINDU, written by one Mr. Karthik Subramanian (available at the following links), which incidentally deals with the aspect of CSR and FIR.

Anirudh has rightly opined about the importance of CSR and FIR. A mere CSR will not be entertained even by insurance company if you stake claim for insurance amount in case of any insurance on the stolen property, a FIR will be insisted.
