Mode of recording
The police officer enters the information in the FIR book. You can
furnish the information either orally or in writing. Giving information in
writing is not mandatory. Whenever the police receive the information,
he reduces it into writing and takes the signature of the informant.
After recording the FIR, he does supply a copy of it at free of cost to the
informant. Since FIR is a vital piece of evidence, therefore, the police
officer enters material points of FIR in the General Diary.
