why do you need the documents after so long? It is difficult to find old FIR or challan papers but certainly not impossible. The Indian Army also maintains record of its personnel, have you tried to get the copy of FIR/ Criminal Case from them? We can also approach the Court concerned to that Police Station and try to retrieve the FIR physically. Let me know if you need any help.
