Zero FIR

On 12.02.2025, the Predecessor Bench of this Court disposed
the petition by directing PS Aman Vihar (Delhi) to register an FIR
within 24 hours and investigate according to law. Further, the
previously filed application under Section 156(3) of the CrPC, in the
trial court, was also disposed of by the said order.

The petitioner states that she received a copy of this FIR only
on 21.02.2025 and upon her review, she discovered that the FIR had
been lodged as a zero FIR and sent to Bhiwadi rather than being
investigated by Delhi PoliceThe jurisdiction of this Court under such an application is
supervisory in nature, limited to verifying compliance on the face of
the record, not to review, modify or supplement its prior order.

Pursuant to that order, Aman Vihar Police registered “Zero
FIR” No.1/2025 on 13.02.2025 under Section 304 of the Indian Penal
Code, 1860, and transferred the case to Phool Bagh – Police Station,
Bhiwadi (Rajasthan), i.e., the locality where the deceased is alleged to
have been found injured.

  1. Accordingly, the petitioner’s contention that the transfer of the
    Zero FIR constitutes disobedience cannot be accepted in the present
    application. While the petitioner may well be aggrieved by such
    transfer, that grievance is of a distinct character and requires
    adjudication by way of a fresh petition.
  2. In view of the foregoing discussions on facts and laws, the
    instant application is dismissed.
