The object of FIR is to obtain true or nearly true version of the events connected with a crime. If the commission of a crime is reported soon after the act, there is very little time for any distortion or embellishment. Any delay in such information is likely to give an opportunity for second thoughts and also for ommission of some very crucial connecting facts in the version of a crime. Such omissions may be intentional on the part of the informant or they may be due to failure of memory.
Secondly, the FIR also provides a check on the undesirable tendency on the part of the prosecution to fill the gaps on their own. If the prosecution tries to fit in certain fact in the given FIR, the same can be checked up in the light of the FIR. Thus, the recording of the FIR immediately after its communication to the police officer provides the initial groundwork on the basis of which the entire investigation and prosecution will be conducted and consequently it does not afford any chance for the prosecution to set up some new facts subsequent to the recording of the FIR.
