Delhi High Court Asks for 100 FIR Copies to Check if Urdu, Persian Words Being Used by Police - (27 Nov 2019)

CRIMINAL

Delhi High Court has asked for 100 First Information Report copies to ascertain whether a recent police circular to its stations to stop the use of 383 Urdu or Persian words while registering complaints was being complied with saying FIRs "should be in a simple language". The Court said that the police ought to stop using Urdu and Persian words which were being "mechanically" used while registering FIRs as public at large may not be able to understand such terms.
