Implementing the Delhi High Court verdict of last month, starting February 1, the Delhi police would upload all new FIRs its official website -- www.delhipolice.nic.in.One can download the same from the website while an accused can get also a copy from the police station by paying Rs 25.
The move comes following a direction by the Delhi High Court on December 6, 2010 when it said that an accused is entitled to get a copy of the FIR within 24 hours of its registration.
"We will be uploading the FIRs on February 1. The FIRs will be uploaded from police stations," said Rajan Bhagat, Delhi police.
An accused can apply for a copy of the FIR at a charge of Rs 25 for four pages and Rs 10 for each extra page.
The court has exempted the force from making public the FIRs related to sensitive issues like terror, espionage, rape, molestation, kidnapping etc. However, whenever it does not make FIRs public, such a decision has to be taken by an officer not below the rank of DCP and they have to inform the area magistrates.
