"If other side has done "setting with police", you should have lodged a FIR"- said District Judge

"If other side has done "setting with police", you should have lodged a FIR"- said District Judge

The scene was in a trial court. Tenant said to the judge, "The complainant who complained against me is juvenile but his uncle is property dealer. They asked me to vacate or they will file case on me through police and some recovery will be found"

The Judge said, how can I believe your story without any proof? You should have immediately lodged a FIR.

The point: Oral allegations by accused cannot be relied by court unless supported by evidence. In such case, tenant should have immediately lodged FIR or complaint in court.
