Question

Can a person against whom FIR is lodged at police station, file a complaint to counter the FIR at same police station?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses whether an individual against whom an FIR has been lodged can file a counter-complaint at the same police station. The legal consensus is that multiple FIRs for the same offence are not permissible; any new information should be added as further details to the original FIR. It also touches upon the procedure to follow if the complainant passes away after an FIR has been ordered.

No. It cannot. The court observed that there cannot be multiple FIRs on same offence and any information pertinent to the offence is in furtherance to the first which can be incorporated as further information into the police diary.
