What is FRT in law? Does it mean that the investigation has been closed by the police and you can't go to court for justice?

FRT ordinarily means 'Final Report True--a police classification (from Police Regulations of Bengal, Reg.275) recording that the reported occurrence appears to have happened but the investigating officer found no person liable or insufficient evidence to prosecute. [https://www.legalserviceindia.com/legal/article-15803-final-report-submission-after-investigation-of-a-case.html] Filing an FRT with the Magistrate does not by itself bar further court action: the Magistrate may accept the report and drop proceedings (in which event the FIR is treated as presumed closed), or may take cognizance, or order further investigation; the informant may file a protest/narazi petition and higher courts can direct re-investigation where justified -see Vishnu Kumar Tiwari v. State of U.P. (2019) and Bhagwant Singh v. Commissioner of Police (1985). [https://indiankanoon.org/doc/80081494/] [https://www.courtkutchehry.com/judgements/671539/bhagwant-singh-vs-commissioner-of-police-and-another/] The BNSS (procedural law) expressly preserves further investigation after a police report and requires authorities to notify the informant about case status (see Section 193 BNSS).

FRT full form is Final Report. In legal terms, FRT full form in law refers to a report where the case is recommended to be closed against the accused. If you are an accused, then unless the defacto complainant challenges that report and seeks an investigation, you are not required to go to court to face trial. In case you are the defacto complainant, you can either choose to accept the report or make an application before the court under Section 173(8) CrPC seeking further investigation.

If you are asking about FRT full form in police, it also stands for Final Report filed by the police when they conclude that no further investigation or trial is needed. Similarly, FRT full form in court refers to the same final report submitted before the magistrate for approval.
