So Question Who can lodge an FIR? Its simple answer is anyone who has the knowledge of the occurrence or the complainant (Victim) can register the case.
If the delay has been occurring in filing the first information report then it can create problems for the complainant. It usually creates suspicion in the prosecution story. Always register the FIR immediately.
But still, there is some exception in which delay can be overlooked. These reasons may be one of these;
- The informer is sick or injured
- distance in the place of occurrence from that of a police station
- Due to threat or undue influence
- The crime was detected later on etc
