Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 01-OCT-24
The registration of an FIR does not guarantee conviction. If the investigation reveals insufficient evidence, the accused may be released on bail. The police officer is empowered to take cognizance of an offense and try the accused or send them for trial. After completing the investigation, the officer must submit a police report to a Magistrate. The report should include details of the parties, the nature of the information, and the names of witnesses. The report should also indicate whether the accused was arrested or released on bail. The police report can be classified as "A," "B," or "C." An "A" report indicates that the FIR is true but the accused is untraced or there is no evidence to justify trial. A "B" report indicates that the FIR is false or frivolous and no case is made out. A "C" report indicates that the criminal case was filed due to a mistake of fact or is of a civil nature.
