Courts should be wary of ‘almost perfect’ FIRs while considering relief to accused: Allahabad High Court

In its judgment, the Court also said that FIRs these days are drafted by legal experts or head constables so meticulously that courts often deny relief on a bare reading.

It advised that in cases of possible false implication, courts should interfere irrespective of the severity of the allegations.

Very long FIR containing the precise allegations making out the ingredients for constituting the alleged offences are mostly drafted by experts and the courts are required to be cautious of such FIRs which appear to be almost perfect with regard to allegations made therein. The human acts are imperfect and the genuine FIR does not contains the perfect recital supported by all the ingredients for constituting all the offences alleged. Therefore, protecting the liberty of the petitioner / accused during the pendency of investigation is in accordance of requirement of Article 21 of constitution of India,” it said.
