Details to give when filing an FIR: If you are a victim or witness of a crime give clear descriptions of all that you experienced, saw or remember. If you are filing an FIR for a crime that you have second hand knowledge of, then report exactly what you were told or what you heard. Information should never be exaggerated or false. Important details to include are the date, time, location and a description of the culprits or people involved. The sequence of events that occurred and details of what each person did or said.

What to do when the police refuse to file FIR: If you are reporting a cognisable crime and the police refuse to register your FIR, you can make a complaint to a higher ranking officer such as the Superintendent of Police (SP), the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) or the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

You can also complain to the nearest judicial magistrate, who will order the police to register the FIR if deemed necessary. Ensure that you get a receipt of your complaint being registered.

You can also…

· Send your complaint in writing to the Superintendent of Police (SP) by registered post

· Make a written complaint to the concerned State Human Rights Commission or the National Human Rights Commission that the police are not doing their duty of enforcing the law or that they are being negligent, biased or corrupt.

Things you must not do:

· Never file a false complaint or give wrong information to the police. You can be prosecuted under law for giving wrong information or for misleading the police.—[Section 203, Indian Penal Code 1860]

· Never exaggerate or distort facts.

· Never make vague or unclear statements.

Limitations of FIR

An FIR can only be filed for a cognisable crime.

In the event someone is trying to file an FIR for a crime that falls in the non-cognisable category it is the duty of the police to listen to them, enter the matter in their daily register or dairy, give the person a signed copy of the entry made (as proof of the matter being recorded) and direct them to the closest or appropriate magistrate.

The signed copy of the entry made by the police is free of cost and is a right to receive.

The police may not investigate a complaint even if you file a FIR, when:

(i) The case is not serious in nature;

(ii) The police feel that there is not enough ground to investigate.

However, the police must record the reasons for not conducting an investigation and in the latter case must also inform you. —[Section 157, Criminal Procedure Code, 1973]

Here are some basic things one must know about owning and using a driver's license in India:

·Driving on public roads is not permitted without a valid Driver’s License

·Every Indian national is only permitted to hold one Driver’s License. You cannot hold a DL from multiple RTO’s or States

·A Learners License or Driver’s License is valid throughout all States and Union Territories of India

·Each class of motor vehicle requires a separate mention on the license. For example if you have a license mentioning only permission for LMV or car, it does not give you the right to you ride a motorcycle on the road.

·No one can drive a transport vehicle unless they have the special license to do so

Where to register?

Every state has RTOs in taluks that fall under the state jurisdiction.

Why to register?

The vehicle can be driven or allowed to be driven in public place only after registration by registering authority as under the provision of section 39 of motor vehicle Act 1988

Important Points to Remember:

Validity:

· A vehicle’s registration certificate is valid for a period of 15 years from the date of issue and the same can be renewed thereafter for 5 years subject to inspection and the vehicle’s road worthiness

· The registration of a vehicle, in any state, that has been done in accordance with the Motor Vehicles Act , is effective and valid across all States and Union Territories of India.

Validity of Temporary Registration:

· Temporary registration certificated are valid for a period of one month only from the date of issue and cannot be renewed

Renewal and Registration:

· Registration or its renewal can be denied if the registration authority has reason to believe that the vehicle is stolen, if it does not meet the prescribed mechanical fitness standards, if the vehicle does not meet emission norms or if the applicant fails to produce required documentation and past registration proof

Transfer of Registration:

· If a vehicle is kept in another State for over a period of 12 months then the vehicle must get a new registration from the state that it is being kept in. That is, if the owner of a car with a KA registration moves to Chennai and lives there for a period of over a year, the vehicle must have its registration changed to a TN plate

· When transferring a registration to a State other than the state where the vehicle was originally registered, a No Objection Certification must be gotten

Most importantly No person can drive a motor vehicle in a public place unless the vehicle has been registered by a registering authority of the government of India. The vehicle must clearly bear the mark or plates of registration and the certification of registration or RC book must be carried at all times when driving the vehicle.

Crime Overview:The principal duty of the police is to maintain order and keep us safe. An integral responsibility that comes with that is the duty to apprehend individuals who are a threat to the peace of a community or whose actions adversely affect the safety of others. The process for criminal apprehension and crime investigation is diverse and exhaustive; we simplify the subject so that you can be aware and awakened.

The following sections of Arrest, Custody, Search and Bail will cover information on the procedures that the police must follow, what limitations they must work within, rights of the citizens and laws that govern every action that the police take in executing the investigation of criminal cases and apprehension of the culprits.

To begin with it is essential to know the two categories or types that crimes are segregated into in India. They are 'Cognisable' and 'Non-Cognisable'.

What is an Arrest memo?

The memo of arrest must detail the name of the arrested person, the time, date and place of arrest along with reasons for the arrest and what the suspected offence is.

An Arrest Memo or ‘Memo of Arrest’ is a document that the police must file at the time of arrest or immediately on bringing the arrested person back to the police station. It acts as a safeguard against illegal detention by the police.

It has to be signed by the police, two independent witnesses and the arrested person in order to ensure that the memo accurately details all of the facts.

Note: It is very important to check the date and time of arrest as entered by the police on the arrest memo before signing it. If the police detain an arrested person for more than 24 hours before producing him/her before a magistrate, the arrest memo will be proof of police misconduct.

Can the police enter your residence without a warrant?

Yes, the police can enter your private residence or office without a warrant, but only under very limited circumstances. If a police investigation leads them to believe that there is an object which counts as evidence, that they must procure immediately, or if there is a criminal hiding in your house who might flee, then they can enter without a warrant so that they may secure the evidence or felon without any delay.

Under non-emergency circumstance, if the police have reasonable grounds to suspect that you are harbouring a suspect, conducting illegal activities, are hiding stolen goods or evidence or have an illegal weapon in your home then they must first obtain a warrant from a magistrate before they can enter your home.

If the police come to your house to question you or any member of your family in connection to a case, they may only enter at your invitation.

What is an Inspection memo?

An Inspection Memo is a short description of an arrested individual’s physical condition when they are brought into custody. It must record the general physical condition and note major and minor injuries of the person. This procedure is meant to ensure that there is no beating or torture of the arrested individual by the police while in custody.

Once prepared, the document must be verified and then signed by the arrested individual and the police. The police must give the individual a copy.

It is the right of any individual who is taken into police custody to have an Inspection Memo prepared for themselves and the law mandates that the police do so.

Bailable offences:

Bailable offences are those offences or crimes that are not very serious in nature. In such cases bail is a right and the arrested person must be released after depositing the bail with the police. The police have the power to grant bail in these types of cases.

The ‘bail’ amount or assurance is collateral that insures that the suspect will make him/herself available to the police during the investigation and will appear at the trial.

It is the right of an accused person to be released on bail (in the case of bailable offences) as soon as all the requirements of the set bail has been met. Police cannot refuse to release a person from custody if he/she fulfils all the necessities.

Once bail is granted to a person, it does not mean that they are free. The individual is still a suspect and must appear at court for the trial that will determine whether the accused is guilty or innocent.

Here are some basic facts and figures about the Indian police that you should know
