Can I file counter FIR if an FIR is already registered against me?

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Yes, there is no legal bar to you filing your counter FIR against your neighbour. If your complaint discloses a cognizable offence, the police will file the FIR.

Though there is a delay of 2 days, as you have mentioned, in filing of the FIR by you, and it may raise some doubt about the genuineness of your FIR, however, there is no legal bar for filing of FIR after two days. So, without any further delay, you should lodge your FIR with police.
