Question

BNSS introduced the provision of registration of FIR relating to commission of cognizable offense irrespective of the area of the offense. This FIR is known as:

• A. NCR
• B. Zero FIR
• C. False FIR
• D. Counter FIR

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNSS) introduced the concept of a ”Zero FIR,” which allows for the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) regarding a cognizable offense irrespective of the area where the crime occurred. This facilitates prompt action and investigation, especially in situations where the victim may not be in the jurisdiction where the crime took place.
