Commission Recommendations Non-Binding on Police | FIR Registration Discretion Under CrPC Lies Solely with Law Enforcement : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that recommendations from the Punjab State Commission for NRIs do not compel police to register an FIR. The court emphasized that FIR registration remains the exclusive discretion of law enforcement under the CrPC, requiring independent evaluation of evidence. This reinforces police autonomy in criminal proceedings and limits the influence of external bodies.
