Error In FIR Due To Lack Of Specific Date & Time Of Incident Can't Be Rectified During Investigation: Allahabad High Court

The Allahabad High Court ruled that an error in a First Information Report (FIR) due to the lack of a specific date and time of the incident cannot be rectified during the investigation. The case involved an FIR that was challenged on the grounds of being vague and lacking essential details. The court found that the absence of specific information in the FIR undermined its validity and could not be corrected retrospectively. Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan emphasized that FIRs must contain clear and precise details to ensure proper investigation and legal proceedings. This ruling underscores the importance of accuracy and completeness in FIRs, ensuring that they provide a solid foundation for criminal investigations.
