One of the common refrain or complaint of public is that even if they go to police station to report about some crime, they will be sent back and their complaint or FIR will not be registered. In matrimonial related cases, it has been seen that any complaint by wife is taken and registered into an FIR easily, whereas any complaint or FIR by husband is taken only if there are visible injuries or blood on him! I have seen one such case where FIR under IPC Section 323 was registered on in-laws party due to a bleeding head injury …[Continue Reading]
