Filing non-cognizable offence report with police and getting acknowledgement

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Yes, it is possible to file a non-cognizable offence report with the police. You can specifically request the police to not register any FIR and give your complaint in such a manner that its ingredients are only those of non-cognizable offence. A police station usually maintains an NCR register (Non-Cognizable Report Register) in which they record the complaints received by them which disclose non-cognizable offences. The police officer concerned will give you the serial number in this register against which your complaint has been recorded.
