Upload FIRs on websites in 24 hrs: SC to states, UTs
The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed all states and union territories to upload each FIR on their websites within 24 hours of registration. The apex court exempted uploading of FIRs in sensitive cases like insurgency, terrorism and sexual offences. Non-uploading of FIRs, however, would not give the accused any benefit in a court of law, the SC clarified.
