The FIR was found to be false, the police further said in its report.In legal terms, such a report is called a ‘B-summary’.At the time, Dutta had filed a protest petition urging the court to reject the B-summary.She urged the court to order a further probe into her complaint.The magistrate said Dutta filed an FIR in 2018 under the Indian Penal Code sections 354 and 509 over an incident that allegedly occurred on March 23, 2008.Both offences have a limitation of three years as per provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), he said.The purpose of the prescribing period of limitation is to put pressure on the organs of criminal prosecution to make every effort to ensure detection and punishment of the crime quickly, the court observed.
