Section 154 FIR Registration If a crime has been reported to the SHO, it was his duty to record it. And if a cognizable offense is committed, such as filing an FIR, upon receipt of such a complaint, it was the case of the concerned SHO to form an opinion about whether an identifiable offense was committed. Whether or not, in non-identifying cases, the relevant SHO was not obliged to file an FIR and arrest the nominees unnecessarily, to avoid misuse of the law process, in each case. It had to be examined and decided on its own strange facts and circumstances, which required a heavy burden of proof. Identifiable crime The SHO's commission, however, did not need to examine the evidence. The truth of the alleged crime, however, cannot be done mechanically without using his mind. To the extent that the minimum reported occurrence is investigated, or to be a commission of a payable offense, file an FIR in each case in which no admissible crime commission was proposed.
