Elaborate example of FIR in a cross case

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

FIRs in cross cases basically imply that in both the cases, there is a complaint which discloses a cognizable case against the other party. For example, if two parties fight with each other and cause grievous injuries to each other, in that situation, there can be two FIRs as cross cases; one filed by each of the two parties.

Even if there is a cross case filed by an accused person, he may have to apply for anticipatory bail, if he wants to avoid arrest. This is because both cases may be investigated on their own merits.

FIR can be filed by a third person also. It need not be filed by the victim. But, such third person filing the FIR should have knowledge about the incident.
