Can I file a criminal case after 10 years
06-May-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I was beaten by a man in 2008 .. And went to a govt hospital and made my medical from there .... And then I went to the police station to DO A FIR against that person and the police man was not taking my issue seriously ... So he did not accept my application of FIR .... I was trying to do FIR but in that time my brother got a heavy accident and then I left going police station for FIR .... But today that person is again trying to hurt me ..... And I want to do a FIR ON THE BESIS OF MY THAT MEDICAL AND ON HE BESIS OF MY THAT SEVERE INJURIES .... PLEASE HELP ME .....
Delay FIR is equivalent to a no FIR, because burden will be on your head to explain 10 years gap. Circumstances under which you were unable to lodge FIR. But that same person is again threatening you, then approach to register FIR for fresh cause along with the incident so happened 10 years back.
Thank you!
Thank you!

How many years does a court case last?
We have data for 21 high courts, and the average time it takes to decide a case is approximately three years one month (1 128 days). The average time it takes to make a decision in a subordinate court in the country is almost six years (2184 days). 27-Apr-2016
Is there a time limit for crime report?
In practice, there is not a time limit for filing a criminal case with the police. The court is the only one who can set a time limit if necessary. You can still file a police complaint or a private complaint if you want to, even if it is after 10 days.
Does a crime expire in India?
India follows the English model and does not have a general law on prosecutions. In some special and local laws a limitation period has been prescribed, for example, section 106 (of the Factories Act of 1948) and section 122 (of the Army Act).
What is the time limit for filing a criminal case?
If the punishment is only a fine, the term of imprisonment is six months.
No you can't take advantage of previous medical that has become too old as according to you 10 years old. If that person hurts you again then you can lodge an FIR. In case police does not register your FIR then you can send your FIR to police station and SSP through registered post and file a petition in concerned court for a direction from court to the police to lodge your report and in case court refuses to give direction for registration of FIR the your petition shall itself be treated as Complaint case and after taking your evidence court shall summon that person before court and if you prove your case in court then that person shall be awarded punishment according to law like sentence of imprisonment.... Regards.

it will be very difficult to get a case registered again after 10 years, do you have written copy of the complaint you made to the police in 2008?, how is that person trying to hurt you ? you can register a fresh FIR, you case will be stronger considering the previous incident, but if the police refuse to file an FIR again you approach the court under section 156(3) crpc

Hello dear client,
Yes you can file a FIR against that person.
My advice to you is file FIR about current problem and also give reference of last medical and misbehave of police.
And for better results you should register your complaint in court under sec 156(3) Cr.P.C.
All the best
