First Information Report or FIR is the first step in the criminal proceeding under section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1974 <\/a>(hereinafter crpc).\u00a0 It is a document having complete information about cognizable offenses. For a valid FIR, the identity of the complainant should be disclosed with his signature on it otherwise it will not amount to FIR.\u00a0 FIR gives the right to people to register their complaints. A Police Officer is duty bound to register FIR without verifying or being authentic. Many people take advantage of this and register false complaints. The motive which is generally seen is to defame a person or to take revenge.\u00a0 To deal with such situations, many provisions are there which help to deal with cases of false FIR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such cases, after filing of FIR if an arrest has not been made then the person can file for anticipatory bail under section 438 of crpc. It can be filed to Session Court <\/a>or High Court in non-bailable offenses.<\/a> Anticipatory bail acts as regular bail in case arrest has been made after granting anticipatory bail. The object of anticipatory bail is that no person shall be humiliated or harassed so as to satisfy any kind of personal vendetta or grudge of the complainant. The Court weighs various considerations while determining whether or not to issue anticipatory bail, and in the event that it does, the Court will also impose the proper terms on the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
