Inside the FIR Dossier: A Canonical Template for Court-Ready Filings

# Inside the FIR Dossier: A Canonical Template for Court-Ready Filings Investigators and complainants in Pakistan often face a quiet but costly problem: every report looks different. One PDF carries a cover page, the next one doesn't. Annex numbering jumps. Statutory references appear in one filing and vanish in another. For an Investigating Officer at the FIA Cyber Crime Wing or a Magistrate reviewing an application, inconsistency reads as disorganization — and disorganization undermines credibility. ## One shell, three outputs HRPM.org now generates every export — standard case PDF, regulator dossier, and FIR-ready filing — from the same `buildReportShell` template. The shell guarantees: - Consistent A4 layout with red *Strictly Confidential* footer - Stable annex indexing (A1, A2, A3 …) across the entire bundle - Cover page with case reference, complainant details, and verification block - Auto-rendered chronology of events drawn directly from the case timeline - Statutory mapping section for PECA 2016, PPC, and AMLA 2010 ## What the FIR variant adds The FIR dossier extends the shared shell with three blocks specific to FIA submission: 1. **Complainant and accused particulars** — CNIC, address, designation, contact 2. **Statutory provisions** — section-by-section mapping with the alleged conduct 3. **Prayer and verification** — requested investigative action and complainant attestation ## Why consistency is an evidentiary control Uniform formatting is not cosmetic. It allows reviewers to locate annex references quickly, confirms that no required section was omitted, and signals that the complaint was prepared with procedural rigor. When the same template ships across dozens of filings, deviations become visible — which is exactly the control investigators want. ## Try it Open any case profile and click **Generate FIR Dossier** alongside the existing **Export Report PDF** button. Both outputs share the same shell; the dossier simply layers FIR-specific sections on top. *Published by HRPM.org — Documenting injustice. Demanding accountability.*
