Hi,
there are several judgments of the High Courts holding that FIR is a “public document” within the meaning of Section 74 of the Evidence Act. Therefore, as required under the provisions of Section 76 of the Evidence Act, certified copy of the FIR has to be given to the accused person on his request on payment of the applicable legal fees by every public officer (such as the officer in charge of the police station) having the custody of such document. In this regard, decision of the Allahabad High Court in Shyam Lal v. State of U.P., 1998 Crl. L.J. 2879; decision of the Karnataka High Court in Chnnappa Andanappa Siddareddy v. State, 1980 Crl. L.J. 1022; and decision of the Bombay High Court in Mohammed Khalid Shaikh v. State of Maharashtra [Criminal Application No. 709 of 2010 decided on 4 March 2010]; decision of the Delhi High Court in Court on its own motion v. State [WP (Crl.) No. 468/2010 decided on 6 December 2010], may be seen.
Moreover you can search the FIR online on the portal of Police.
Onus of proving B Guilty is upon A.
If witness is planted/fraud or liar and that is proved Judge can take action against such witness, but generally they dont .
Thanks
