Delay in filing FIR is fatal to the prosecution case. When prosecution fails to explain the delay, FIR should be viewed with suspicion. If the delay in lodging the FIR is explained, it loses no weight. Delay in giving first information can be condoned if there is the satisfactory explanation.

I fear that a woman neighbour will file a false molestation case against me because we had a quarrel over neighbourhood issues in the past. I need to go outside city for a month on an urgent task. Can I ask police to question me after I return back to the city after a month or on phone or will they arrest me immediately without evidence? Will the police arrest me from another city or will they wait for me to return home after finishing my task?
