2. On the complaint lodged by the petitioner, the third respondent police has registered a case in Crime No.218 of 2016 on 11.03.2016 for the offences under Sections 448, 427 and 506(i) of I.P.C. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ against one Usha and Rajeswari. While so, the petitioner has come forward with this petition for a direction to the respondent police to
alter the F.I.R. Unlike the Code of Criminal Procedure where the pleadings can be amended, the F.I.R. once registered cannot be amended. However, during investigation, if materials relating to serious offences surface, it is always open to the respondent police to add the same in the final report.
