SHO is going around his area and a person tells the SHO about some crime on the road. Then what is the procedure to be followed by the SHO for registering the FIR.. He has to take down the complaint at the site of alleged crime on paper and get the signature of the informant and send the complaint to the police station to the duty officer. The duty officer reduces it as FIR and send the copy of the FIR along with the original complaint back to the SHO/I.O. The original complaint on the piece of paper in which the SHO has taken the crime info given by the person is called what specially in state of maharashtra .Is there in case law in this point ? So the SHO at that time is a duty officer right so the duty officer sends back the copy of the FIR to SHO and more importantly will SHO wait for the FIR to come to him for starting investigation or can he can start investigating?
1) So in short do SHO have to wait for the FIR to come to him for starting investigation?
2) The original complaint on the piece of paper in which the SHO has taken the crime info given by the person is called what especially in state of Maharashtra.
3) How to know that a police man is a SHO any proof that a person can asked to the SHO that can u show me any proof that yes I am the SHO of the this area ?
Thanks.
