Which one of the following propositions of law is correct as per the law laid down in Lalita Kumari v. Government of UP and Others, (2014)?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Lalita Kumari v. Govt. of U.P. (2014) held that "It is mandatory for the police to register FIR unless the case falls in the exceptions", a preliminary enquiry being permitted only in a few limited categories; hence neither "Police has discretion to register FIR" nor "It is absolutely mandatory for the police to register FIR without exception" is correct.
