What is FIR registration?

FIR registration refers to the process of filing a First Information Report, which is a formal complaint recorded by the police when they receive information about a cognizable offense. The FIR serves as the first step in the criminal justice process, initiating an investigation into the reported crime. It includes essential details such as the nature of the offense, the parties involved, and any evidence available. Once registered, the FIR is crucial for legal proceedings and helps ensure that law enforcement takes appropriate action.
