Dear Experts,
In my case the claim of the police is that the FIR (against unknown persons) was registered at 10 a.m., then endorsed to Sub-Inspector Mr. X for investigation. Sub-Inspector X then arrested one Mr. Y. Police claim that Mr Y was interrogated and that he revealed the names of his accomplices during this interrogation. Then these co-accused were arrested and they too were interrogated and their statements recorded.
However, we now have indisputable proof that the FIR was not registered at 10 a.m. but that it was actually registered after arrest and interrogation of all the accused persons.
I understand that it they had not falsified time of registration of the FIR they could have given some valid reason for registering it after the arrest and interrogation. But the fact in our case is that the time of registration of the FIR has been falsified.
How can the aforesaid facts affect our case? And could you'll please give me citations of cases with similar facts?
Thanking you.

The police must have corrected the loopholes before registering the FIR formally.
If that is so, there is no way you can show the anomaly in time.
