Gujarat FIR Copy Online: Important Legal Update

The criminal procedure relating to registration and supply of FIRs is now governed by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for matters covered by the new law.

Section 173 of BNSS, 2023
Section 173 BNSS deals with information relating to cognizable offences. Information may be given orally or by electronic communication, subject to the statutory requirements. Section 173(2) provides that a copy of the information as recorded must be given forthwith and free of cost to the informant or victim.

Thus, the right to obtain the recorded FIR/information should not be confused with the availability of a particular FIR for public online search. The Gujarat Police online portal is an additional digital facility; the statutory provisions continue to apply even when an FIR is not available through an online search.

Section 230 of BNSS, 2023
Section 230 BNSS provides for supply of the police report and other documents to the accused and, where applicable, the victim represented by an advocate. It specifically includes a copy of the FIR recorded under Section 173. The provision requires the Magistrate to furnish the specified documents without delay and, in the prescribed circumstances, within fourteen days of production or appearance of the accused.

Electronic supply of documents is also recognised under Section 230 where the statutory conditions apply.

If the FIR is not available online

An FIR may not appear in the online search for several reasons, including:

• The FIR has not yet been uploaded or made available on the public portal.
• An incorrect district or police station has been selected.
• The FIR number or date has been entered incorrectly.
• The FIR is outside the searchable period or database.
• Access to the particular FIR or portions of its contents is restricted.
• The Gujarat Police portal has changed its service structure or is temporarily unavailable.

In such a situation, verify the details with the concerned police station or use the official Gujarat Police contact/service facilities.

FIR copy and online FIR search are different
An important distinction should be kept in mind:

Online FIR Search:
This refers to searching the FIR database through the Gujarat Police online facility.

Copy of FIR:
This refers to obtaining the FIR/document itself. Section 173(2) BNSS specifically provides for a free copy to the informant or victim of the information as recorded.

Therefore, failure to find an FIR through the public online search does not necessarily mean that no FIR has been registered.

Gujarat Police Online Services

Gujarat has implemented the eGujCop system for digitisation and integration of police-related functions. Government documentation states that the citizen portal includes services such as FIR copy, online crime reporting, missing/stolen property reporting, police verification and other police-related services.

The Gujarat Informatics Limited description of the Home Department portal also identifies online citizen services including FIR-status tracking and police-related applications.
