The Supreme Court directed
that the copies of the FIRs, unless the offence is sensitive in nature, like
sexual offences, offences pertaining to insurgency, terrorism and of that
category, offences under POCSO Act and such other offences, should be uploaded
on the police website, and if there is no such website, on the official website
of the State Government, within twenty-four hours of the registration of the
First Information Report so that the accused or any person connected with the
same can download the FIR and le appropriate application before the Court as
per law for redressal of his grievances. The Bench clarified that in case there
is connectivity problems due to geographical location or there is some other
unavoidable difficulty, the time can be extended up to forty-eight hours. The
said 48 hours can be extended maximum up to 72 hours and it is only relatable
to connectivity problems due to geographical location.
