Query about FIR .I want to know how police acts after an FIR.


12-May-2023 (In Criminal Law)
If an FIR is filed against a person for an mild cognizable offense, can police delay the investigation for 5 to 6 years? Do police contact the accused necessarily whose contact, address is known to police ?

Police are duty bound to complete the investigation in a time bound manner. if the police is not completing the investigation and is adopting dilactory tactics we can adopt suitable legal remedy to compel the police to complete the investigation and submit its report.

police usually contact the accused at the first instance but there is no hard and fast rule and investigation is totally the discreation of police .

if you want to know more you may ask me about them and I can help you with the issue.

Ofcourse police can't delay this much. If it really has delayed these many years, it's evident that it has been showing its lackadaisical attitude in investigation; in that case you should immediately approach High Court against such in action by logic you eill immediately get relief accordingly. In this way many of clients got relief accordingly from our Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta. All the best and regards
