PREFACE
This Project Report has been prepared in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the Subject : Code
of Criminal Procedure (Sem. V) in the academic
year 2016-2017. For preparing the Project Report,
we have visited the Police Station during the
required duration for the period of 2 days, to avail
the necessary information. The blend of learning
and knowledge acquired during our practical
studies is presented in this Project Report.
The rationale behind visiting the Police Station and
preparing the Project Report is to study the use of
F.I.R. and gather the data related to the practical
problem given
The Project Report starts with the introduction to
CrPc, Definition of F.I.R., purpose and use of an
F.I.R. and the main topic i.e. "CRIMES COMMITTED
BY PERSON IN AGE GROUP OF 15 TO 35 YEARS
REGISTERED IN POLICE STATION OF AREA IN THE
YEAR STARTING FROM 01-01-2015 TILL 24-102016."

INTRODUCTION
The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) is the main
legislation
on procedure for
administration
of substantive criminal law in India. It was enacted in
1973 and came into force on 1 April 1974.It provides the
machinery for the investigation of crime, apprehension
of
suspected
criminals,
collection
of evidence,
determination of guilt or innocence of the accused
person and the determination of punishment of the
guilty. Additionally, it also deals with public nuisance,
prevention
of
offences
and
maintenance
of wife, child and parents.
At present, the Act contains 484 Sections, 2 Schedules
and 56 Forms. The Sections are divided into 37
Chapters.
The substantive laws like IPC need a mechanism to be
implemented and this mechanism was created and
named as the criminal procedure code, 1983. In order
for the substantive laws to come into operation,
procedural law is imperative. So, procedural and
substantive laws are supplementary to each other.
The purpose behind drafting CrPC was to ensure that
the accused and the victim get equal opportunity to a
fair trial. The purpose of drafting the code can be
fulfilled if each and every provision of the code passed
the test of a) simplicity b) expediency c) affordability.
FIRST INFORMATION
REPORT
A First Information Report (FIR) is a written
document prepared by police organizations in India.
When they receive information about the commission of
an offence, it is generally a complaint lodged with the
police by the victim of a cognizable offense or by
someone on his or her behalf, but anyone can make
such a report either orally or in writing to the police.

OBSERVATIONS
From the data we collected, it can be observed that in
the city Rupnagar, THEFT was the major crime which
was committed the most in the year 2015-16 and even
currently in 2016
In common usage, theft is the taking of another
person's property without that person's permission or
consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of
it.
And from my point of view there are various reasons
behind the high rate of thefts and some of them are: UNEMPLOYMENT: due to unemployment many
people are pushed to take drastic steps to fulfill
their basic needs, also even if one is caught during
theft the quantum of punishment is very small as
compare to other crimes.
Measures which have to be taken: Reduce alcohol and drug abuse. 51% of crimes are
committed under the influence of alcohol and other
drugs.
CONCLUSION
As we conducted the survey in Rupnagar Police Station,
It was a wonderful experience. We came to know about
many new things regarding the F.I.R., How F.I.R. is
lodged? Who can lodge an F.I.R.? and many more. Then
we met the S.H.O. of the police station who gave us the
complete information regarding the crimes occurring in
their jurisdiction. They also gave us the register in which
all the F.I.R.s had been lodged called FIR Register for the
year 2015 and 2016 [till 24-10-2016].
Format of the F.I.R. REGISTER is given below:

assignment, which helped us to know the working of a
police station, job of various officers in the police
station, but, most importantly what is the use of an
F.I.R.? Why, how and by whom it can be filed?
In future, I would love to do many more such
assignment which help in gain knowledge, experience
and skill.
