Terms of Service

The terms you agree to when you use FIRSetu, and the limits of what this service can promise.

Last updated: 8 September 2026

What FIRSetu is

FIRSetu is an independent service that helps you find FIR (First Information Report) information that state police publish online. It is a discovery and access layer over public records. It is not a government website, a police service, a legal service or a news service.

Accepting these terms

By using FIRSetu you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.

What you may use it for

Finding and reading FIR information that is already public.
Downloading the official PDF a state portal publishes for a record.
Sharing a link to a record you found.

What you may not do

No automated bulk extraction: Do not scrape, crawl or systematically harvest FIRSetu or the state portals behind it. Excessive automated traffic harms a public service that other people depend on.
No misrepresentation: Do not present FIRSetu, or anything retrieved through it, as an official government source or as certified by a police authority.
No unlawful use: Do not use FIR information to harass, intimidate, defame, blackmail or endanger any person, or in any way that breaks applicable law.
No interference: Do not attempt to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to the service or its infrastructure.

Accuracy and availability

FIRSetu shows what the source portal returns at the time you search. We do not alter records, and we cannot guarantee that a portal is complete, current, correct or reachable. A search may return nothing because nothing was published, or because the portal was unavailable. The interface tells you which.

The service is provided as-is. We do not promise uninterrupted availability.

Not legal advice

Nothing on FIRSetu is legal advice. An FIR is an early-stage police record, not a finding of guilt. If a record affects you, consult a qualified lawyer and rely on the official record obtained from the relevant authority.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FIRSetu is not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, information found through the service. The authoritative record remains with the originating public source and should be relied upon instead.

Changes to the service

We may add, change or remove features, including which states are searchable, as sources are verified or become unavailable.
