My motorcycle stolen, FIR Registered but NTR not received.


03-Oct-2023 (In Criminal Law)
"Is Final report or presence in court is necessary? my motorcycle was stolen in 2018, and although I filed an FIR and completed the necessary processes, an RTO address mistake prevented me from getting the original RC. I have the Digi locker printed RC and have undergone police spot verification and few people also signed as evidence. The investigating officer (I.O) has asked me to be present in court to claim insurance. However, I live in a different state and can't afford to travel.

You will have to remain present in the court for initial hearings. As because your bike was stolen, you are the complainant in that case. So, in court proceedings the complainant has to remain present at the initial stage of the proceeding only i.e. you will have to go to the court for 1 or 2 times and then only whenever you are called upon. As you are the author of the case you are required to be remain present before the Court. It is the accused/ thief who when is released on bail needs to attend the court in every date of hearing and not the complainant. A complainant is required to be present only at the initial hearing for recording of statement before the concerned magistrate/judge
