A.Dear Client,
A case of fraud under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code can be registered based on a complaint, even if direct evidence is not immediately available. The police will typically file a First Information Report (FIR) based on the complaint received.
Here's a general outline of the process:
1. Filing a Complaint: If you believe you are a victim of fraud, you can file a complaint with the police. Provide them with details of the alleged fraud, including relevant facts and any information that might assist in the investigation.
2. FIR Registration: The police are generally required to register an FIR based on a complaint of fraud. The FIR is a formal document that initiates the criminal investigation.
3. Investigation: Following the registration of the FIR, the police will conduct an investigation. This may involve gathering evidence, questioning parties involved, and examining relevant documents.
4. Statement Recording:The police may record your detailed statement about the alleged fraud. This statement becomes a crucial part of the investigation.
5. Collection of Evidence: While you may not have direct evidence at the time of filing the complaint, the investigation process allows the police to collect evidence. This may include examining financial records, interviewing witnesses, and other investigative measures.
6. Legal Action: If the police find sufficient evidence during the investigation, they may proceed to take legal action against the accused. This could involve filing charges, arresting the accused, and initiating the legal process.

A.Dear Client,
Sorry to inform you that in the absence of cogent evidence either documentary or oral, a complaint of fraud or cheating neither be registered in the police station nor be established before the Court, instead a counter-complaint may be filed against you by the party against whom you brought the allegation of cheating and fraud.
