Check Case & FIR Status Online - Chhattisgarh Police

Official Chhattisgarh Police FIR Status Search

Steps to Check FIR Status Online with Chhattisgarh Police

1. Open the official FIR Status Search page

   Open the current Chhattisgarh Police FIR Status Search directly. The current page provides fields for District, Police Station, FIR Number and Year.

2. Select the District

   Select the district in which the FIR was registered. Make sure it corresponds to the police station where the FIR was registered.

3. Select the Police Station

   Select the concerned police station from the available list.

4. Enter the FIR Number

   Enter the FIR number exactly as recorded in the FIR or other police documents.

5. Select the FIR Year

   Select the year in which the FIR was registered. The current search facility requires the FIR year rather than an FIR date.

6. Click "Search"

   After entering all required information, click Search. The portal will display available FIR status information corresponding to the search criteria if a matching record is available.

What information is displayed in the FIR Status Search?

The current Chhattisgarh Police FIR Status Search page provides results under fields such as:

• FIR Registration Number
• District
• Police Station
• Status

How to View or Download the FIR Copy

If you want the actual FIR rather than merely its status, use the separate View FIR facility.

The current FIR search page allows users to select:

• District
• Police Station
• From Date
• To Date

Search results may contain the FIR number, complainant's name, accused person's name, Act/Section, remarks and a Preview/Download facility.

1. Open the official View FIR page.
2. Select the District.
3. Select the Police Station.
4. Enter the From Date.
5. Enter the To Date.
6. Click Search.
7. Locate the required FIR.
8. Use Preview/Download where available.

Difference Between FIR Status Search and View FIR

If you already know the FIR number and year, FIR Status Search is generally the quicker option. If you want to locate and download an available FIR copy, use the View FIR facility.

What if the FIR Status is Not Showing Online?

If the search produces "No Result Found", check the information entered before assuming that no FIR exists.

1. Confirm that the correct district has been selected.
2. Confirm that the correct police station has been selected.
3. Check that the FIR number has been entered correctly.
4. Check that the correct FIR year has been selected.
5. Consider whether the FIR is available through the public online search facility.

If the record still cannot be located, contact the concerned police station for detailed and authoritative information. An FIR not appearing in an online search should not automatically be treated as proof that no FIR has been registered.

Is Online FIR Status the Same as Court Case Status?

No. Police FIR status and the status of a criminal case before a court are different matters.

The Chhattisgarh Police online facility described here relates to FIR and police records. Once a matter proceeds before a court, information about the judicial case may need to be obtained through the relevant court or e-Courts system.

An FIR showing a particular status on the police portal therefore does not necessarily provide the complete current status of any criminal proceeding pending before a court.

Updated Law Relating to FIR Registration in Chhattisgarh

The principal procedural law governing criminal procedure is now the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). It replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 from 1 July 2024, subject to applicable transition provisions.

Section 173 BNSS - Information in cognizable cases

Section 173 BNSS deals with information relating to cognizable offences. It provides that information concerning the commission of a cognizable offence may be given orally or by electronic communication, irrespective of the area where the offence was committed. Where information is given electronically, it is taken on record after being signed by the person giving it within three days.

Section 174 BNSS - Non-cognizable cases

Section 174 BNSS separately deals with information concerning non-cognizable cases and investigation of such cases.

An online complaint or request should not automatically be described as an FIR merely because it was submitted electronically. The FIR Status Search discussed on this page is primarily a facility for checking the status of an existing FIR, not a substitute for the statutory process of reporting a new cognizable offence.
