Now let us take a slightly different scenario. Shanti and her brother Sushil go to the police station to complain that Mr. Shinde’s 20-year old son had stolen Rs 15,000 that they had been saving up. Do you think that the officer in charge of the Police Station will promptly lodge an FIR? List a few factors that in your opinion may influence the decision of the police to register or not register an FIR.
No, the police officer wouldn’t have lodged an FIR against Mr. Shinde’s son because as Shanti was poor therefore, police men wouldn’t have trusted on her.
The factors that may suggest whether to register or not to register FIR are as follows:
(a) One must question the victim thoroughly in order to get the surety then the case is valid.
(b) He must try to introspect the culprit and the victim to know the white and black of the whole case.
