    Solution

    Registration of FIR is mandatory under Section 154 of the Code, if the information discloses commission of a cognizable offence and no preliminary inquiry is permissible in such a situation. Every information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence is to be given orally to an    officer in charge of a police station. As per Amendment 2013 to s.154 of CrPC, in the event that the person against whom an offence is alleged to have been committed or attempted is temporarily or permanently mentally or physically disabled then. •         such information shall be recorded by a police officer, at the residence of the person seeking to report such offence or at a convenient place of such person’s choice, in the presence of an interpreter or a special educator, as the case may be; •         the recording of such information shall be video-graphed; •         the police officer shall get the statement of the person recorded by a Judicial Magistrate as soon as possible.
