What If the FIR Is Not Available Online?
If you cannot find the FIR, first verify:
An FIR may also be unavailable because the record has not been made available online, the portal has changed, the service is temporarily unavailable or access to the particular record is restricted.
In such circumstances, contact the concerned police station or the appropriate Andhra Pradesh Police authority for assistance.
Current Law Relating to FIR Copies
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 as the principal criminal-procedure law from 1 July 2024.
Section 173 BNSS deals with information relating to cognizable offences. The current statutory framework therefore differs from older guides that refer only to Section 154 CrPC.
Where information relating to a cognizable offence is recorded, Section 173(2) BNSS provides for a copy of the information to be given forthwith and free of cost to the informant or victim.
