Can I file an FIR in another state where the person is not living? How do I file a complaint against
17-Jul-2024 (In Criminal Law)
Yes, an FIR can be filed at a police station outside the jurisdiction where the crime occurred; in such cases, it is registered as a Zero FIR. This allows for immediate documentation of the offense, and the FIR is later transferred to the police station with proper jurisdiction for further investigation. Filing a case in a different state is also possible, though procedures vary depending on whether the matter is civil or criminal. Generally, cases should be filed where the cause of action occurred, but exceptions and legal provisions allow for transfers. Complaints against individuals in another state follow similar steps, but require attention to jurisdiction, and may involve coordination between police.
