I had read a reported case of Supreme Court.
A girl had sent a telegram to the then President of India, Dr. Kalam.
She complained that she has been raped by Mr. X and police
is not registering F I R.
The President's Office forwarded the telegram which reached to
police officer. police registered FIR.
Investigation made. Trial held. Man convicted by Trial Court.
Appeal dismissed by High Court.
Supreme Court found that conviction was not based on reliable
evidence. It noted that it was improper for President's office to influence
registration of FIR.
Supreme Court set aside conviction.
The point is :
President or any minister cannot direct or influence registration or
investigation of FIR as per Law in India
