As per your statement, Police doing Investigation, that is still in-progress. Police will not give FIR until Charge sheet is Framed. Following section cal help.

207. Supply to the accused of copy of police report and other documents.— In any case where the proceeding has been instituted on a police report, the Magistrate shall without delay furnish to the accused, free of cost, a copy of each of the following:—

(ii) the first information report recorded under Section 154;

Note: This is main issue,as of now, No direct answer. Various High courts have given ruling, in favour of accused.

If in Jail, one can apply for Bail. Only that is the option,if he/she is over 90 days, In Jail.

Note: official secret act, is typical act, for Protection of Nation. and expecting 14 Years Jail Minimum

soution: Check with District Court( Session Court) about the status. Any advocate, who can handle Criminal cases, can help you. You will get definit relief.

Official Secrets Act! Is your friend a Government employee? If not, how he/she has come to be in custody of official secrets?

Has he/she been arrested and still in Jail?

You have the option to obtain a copy of the FIR under RTI Act.

No they are not giving FIR copy under any act RTI or mail or letter or even paying the fees they are not ready to give the copy 

P. Venu (Advocate)     07 February 2019

If they have filed an FIR, copy would be available with the jurisdictional Magistrate Court. You can make inquiries with them.

However, it could be that no FIR was lodged, but only a preventive arrest under Section 151 CrPC:

151. Arrest to prevent the commission of cognizable offences.—(1) A police officer knowing of a design to commit any cognizable offence may arrest, without orders from a Magistrate and without a warrant, the person so designing, if it appears to such officer that the commission of the offence cannot be otherwise prevented. (2) No person arrested under sub-section (1) shall be detained in custody for a period exceeding twenty-four hours from the time of his arrest unless his further detention is required or authorised under any other provisions of this Code or of any other law for the time being in force. 

Please try to verify.

There is no need to go to every court - just the regsitry of the jurisdictional Magistrate Court.
