NOW POLICE CANNOT REFUSE TO REGISTER FIR Refusing to register an FIR on jurisdictional ground could now cost a policeman a year in jail. Taking strong view of increasing instances of such acts by police in various states, the Union home ministry has issued strict instructions to all states to not only initiate departmental enquiry against such cops but also prosecute them under Indian Penal Code (IPC). The home ministry told the states and Union Territories to clearly instruct all police stations that failure to register FIR on receipt of information about any cognizable offence will invite prosecution of the duty police officer under IPC Section 166A (government official disobeying law) which will invite imprisonment up to one year. mha.nic.in/pdfs/TheCrimnalLaw030413.pdf
