Uttarakhand High Court Dismisses Petition on Online FIR Access After Police Demonstration
The Uttarakhand High Court dismissed a petition challenging the suspension of a public portal for online viewing of FIRs. Police officials demonstrated that FIRs can be accessed via the 'Citizen' and 'Devbhoomi' apps, currently available only on Android devices. Users must download the app, provide information, and upload a selfie to view and download FIRs. The court had previously warned that the state's DGP would appear if the facility was not restored, following Supreme Court directives for public access to FIRs.
