Human rights violation of child
The UNCRC seeks to protect children from harm, to provide for their growth and development, and to empower their participation in society. Article 42 of the Convention is a commitment to educate children and adults about child rights, but it seldom happens. Ignorance of rights puts children at greater risk of abuse, discrimination and exploitation.
That is why Amnesty International create a series of books about right rights. Know Know Your Rights and Claim Them is a guide for teenagers co-written with Angelina Jolie and Professor Geraldine Van Bueren QC. Similarly, These Rights Are Your Rights is an empowering guide for younger children aged 8+ which includes comic illustrations, fun facts and inspiring stories. It is also why Amnesty International has created a free online child rights education course.
Introduction
The Station House Officer at Vindhyachal police station did not register the FIR, a decision that has sparked significant controversy and debate among local communities and human rights advocates. This issue is a matter of discussion on a large scale, highlighting deep-rooted concerns about the importance of FIR registration in achieving justice and accountability for victims of crime. Without a proper FIR, victims often find themselves without a legal avenue to seek redress, which can lead to severe implications for their sense of security and trust in the law enforcement system.
On one side of the screen, the Yogi government in the state of Uttar Pradesh claims to give justice, asserting their commitment to protecting the rights of citizens, particularly those belonging to vulnerable or marginalized sections of society. They aim to help the weaker section by implementing various welfare schemes and programs that are designed to uplift them.
However, questions arise regarding whether the not registering FIR truly serves as a form of assistance for the weaker section, or whether it instead represents a flaw in the system that needs urgent reform to better serve the needs of all citizens. The paradox of claiming justice while denying fundamental rights raises critical concerns about the sincerity and effectiveness of the government’s approach in facilitating genuine support for those in need.
Action Requested: Immediate FIR Registration for Grievous Hurt of a Minor
This post outlines the status and details of a serious grievance. It concerns the alleged assault and grievous hurt inflicted upon a minor in the Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, there is a subsequent refusal by the local police to register a First Information Report (FIR), making the FIR Registration vital in this situation.

Core Grievance and Legal Violation in FIR registration
The central issue is the alleged unlawful refusal by the personnel at Vindhyachal Police Station to register an FIR, which is a mandatory legal requirement under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.) when a cognizable offense is disclosed. Proper FIR Registration is crucial here.
The complainant was allegedly advised to seek private treatment initially. This led to an expenditure of ₹1500 for the X-ray and plaster application. Despite presenting medical evidence, the police subsequently denied the registration of the FIR. This evidence included the X-ray report showing the fracture and the Orthopedic Surgeon’s prescription.
The complainant is now appealing to the higher authority under Section 154(3) of the Cr.P.C. for intervention, citing the Supreme Court’s clear mandate in the Lalita Kumari vs. Govt. of U.P. and Ors. (2014) case, emphasizing the need for FIR Registration to ensure justice.
