The PIL referred to a decision by the Delhi high court, in which the city police was directed to upload the FIRs on its website within 24 hours of an FIR being registered. The extension of time in uploading the FIRs was granted when counsel for states like Sikkim and Mizoram said due to difficult terrain and poor internet connectivity, it would be difficult to upload FIRs within 24 hours. On such application being made, the copy shall be supplied within 24 hours," it said. A decision by the concerned police officer or the district magistrate shall be duly communicated to the concerned jurisdictional magistrate," the apex court said. Once the FIR is forwarded by the police station to the concerned magistrate, it shall be given by the concerned court within two working days, it said.
