Plaint from foreign country: Police can't refuse to register FIR
Kochi: High court has held that police cannot refuse to register an FIR if a cognizable offence is made out in a complaint, merely on the ground that the complaint was forwarded from a foreign country. Justice Kauser Edappagath issued the ruling while considering a petition filed by a Non-Resident Indian woman currently residing in Australia. The petitioner had challenged the refusal of the Muttom police station to act on her complaint against her husband, which she had submitted via email in 2020 to the state police chief. The chief had forwarded the complaint to the jurisdictional police station for necessary action. However, the local police declined to register an FIR, citing that the complaint was unsigned and submitted through email, and that the petitioner's physical presence could not be ensured due to her residence abroad. The court observed that the concept of Zero FIR was introduced precisely to ensure that victims are not denied access to justice based on territorial limitations. It emphasised that police are duty-bound to register an FIR if the complaint discloses a cognizable offence, regardless of whether it originates from within India or from abroad. The court further directed the police to act on the complaint, if any, filed by the petitioner following the procedure prescribed under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), particularly Section 173.

Conviction rate improved in the U.T. after three new criminal laws came into effect: Puducherry Chief Minister
The conviction rate has increased in the Union Territory after the three new criminal laws — the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam — came into effect in July last year, Chief Minister N. Rangasamy said here on Tuesday. Participating in a programme organised by the Police department to commemorate the first anniversary of replacing the Indian Penal Code with the three criminal laws, the Chief Minister said out of 654 cases instituted by the courts in Puducherry, 337 had been disposed. As many as 319 cases had resulted in conviction with the overall conviction rate pegged at 95% for the Union Territory against 75% in old criminal laws, he said. 'The new laws have been successfully implemented in Puducherry and the law and order situation has also improved. The police should take all necessary steps to maintain the present status of the Union Territory being a peaceful region,' he said. Home Minister A. Namassivayam in his address said the Police department had recruited 680 personnel to the force after the AINRC-BJP government came to power. Steps were being taken to recruit 200 maritime home guards and fill 74 posts of sub-inspectors, he said. Minister for Law K. Lakshminarayanan said the implementation of any new law would encounter 'teething problems.' However, the criminal laws were an exception as the implementation was smooth. The 'well-crafted laws' were debated properly in the Parliament for almost two years before being passed, he said. Speaker R. Selvam, DMK legislator Anibal Kennedy, Chief Secretary Sharat Chauhan and Director General of Police Shalini Singh were also present.

Register FIR in complaints sent from abroad if they are about cognizable offences, Kerala HC tells police
The police cannot refuse to register an FIR in a complaint sent by email from abroad if it is about a cognizable offence, the Kerala High Court has said. Justice Kauser Edappagath issued the ruling while considering a petition filed by a Non-Resident Indian woman residing in Australia. The petitioner approached the court alleging that the Muttom police did not act on a complaint against her husband she had sent by email in 2020 to the then State Police Chief (SPC) though the SPC had forwarded it to the jurisdictional police station for necessary action. She added that the local police declined to register an FIR citing that the complaint was unsigned, it was submitted through email and that the petitioner's physical presence could not be ensured due to her residence abroad. Sans territorial limitations The court observed that the concept of Zero FIR was introduced to ensure that victims are able to file complaints, irrespective of territorial limitations. Thus, an FIR should be registered if the complaint was about a cognizable offence, even if it was sent from abroad. Subsequently, the court directed the police to act on the petitioner's complaint by following the procedure prescribed under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), particularly Section 173 (Every information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence, irrespective of the area where the offence is committed, may be given orally or by electronic communication to an officer in charge of a police station).
