ZERO FIR UNDER THE BHARATIYA NAGARIK SURAKSHA SANHITA, 2023.
Abstract
Zero FIR is an important mechanism in the Indian criminal justice
system that enables a person to report a cognizable offence at any police
station, irrespective of the territorial jurisdiction where the offence
occurred. Its main objective is to prevent delays in registering criminal
complaints and ensure timely access to justice. Section 173(1) of the Bharatiya
Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) provides that information relating to a
cognizable offence may be given to a police station irrespective of the area
where the offence was committed. This paper examines the meaning, legal
framework, objectives, procedure, judicial decisions and challenges relating to
Zero FIR in India.
