If the police officials had filed a closure report then you will get the copy of the chargesheet which you can always oppose. And it’s also upon the magistrate whether he/she accepts this report or not. If not then he/she will order for further investigation. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Can police cancel FIR in India?

The police cannot cancel a FIR once it has been filed. After investigation, they either file a report to the court closing the case because no evidence was found or both parties (complainant and accused) can go to the high court for the FIR to be quashed.

What is the closure report after FIR?

The Magistrate may, however, direct the police to continue the investigation. The closure reports objective is to show that prosecution of an accused person is not justified if police investigations or other investigating authorities have failed to connect them to the crime under investigation. 02-Mar-2022

What is the power of cancellation of FIR?

Supreme Court or High court can quash an FIR that is frivolous and does not need to be pursued against the accused. The Apex Court must quash a case very carefully and sparingly. It has to consider many factors in order to quash an FIR.

Can police take FIR back?

Fir is not revocable. For a fir that was registered as a private complaint, compromising can be made. You can compromise if the law allows it. Before court.

Gone through your legal issue. Would advise you to seek consultation from a lawyer and brief him. You being a complainant in the matter have a right to challenge the closure report. The magistrate may after considering your objections and considering the material on record may direct the police authorities to further investigate

you will have to go through contents of the closure report and check on what grounds has the closure report been submitted.
the reason for that is that the police might have found something which has compelled them to file a report stating that there is no need for registering the present FIR for further assistance I would need to look into the closure report that has been submitted and will be able to advise you only after pursuing the same
