Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD KHURAM VS State S. 154---Information in cognizable cases---Delayed FIR---Scope---Object of recording of murasilla or registration of FIR, apart from setting law into motion, is to provide base for carrying out investigation in the right direction---No doubt, there are no hard and fast rules as to the duration of time consumed in the registration of FIR, but such prompt measure would rule out the possibility of deliberation, consultation and enquiry before furnishing the information---Element of delay in lodging the crime report is treated with caution because there is a tendency to involve innocent people during the interval---Longer the intermission, greater are the chances of false implication, therefore, it is necessary for the prosecution to at least come forward with plausible explanation for the delay caused.
