Vadodara police today introduced online FIR/complaint registration facility, a first in Gujarat.

Police commissioner E Radhakrishna said the citizens will also be able to check the status of their complaints online.

This will help achieve transparency, streamline the grievance redressal machinery and make the police stations paperless, he said.

"The idea is to spare the people repeated trips to the police station," he said.
The top 3 markets that have seen the maximum growth are:

Delhi-NCR (104%), Hyderabad (100%) and Pune (85%) - Delhi-NCR has seen a 104% growth in the searches for advocates and lawyers, with: -Court Marriage and Matrimonial Lawyers category witnessing a rise of 765% -Legal Consultants category witnessing a rise of 388% -Family Court, Divorce and Domestic Lawyer category witnessing a rise of 280%
 

- From the analysis of nearly 80 sub categories in the Advocates and Lawyers category, apart from the Court Marriage and Matrimonial Lawyers, Copyright Patent and Trademark Registration Lawyers and Traffic Violation, RTO and Transportation Lawyers saw a growth of more than 500% across all cities surveyed.

- Family Court, Divorce and Domestic Lawyers, is the most searched category across all cities surveyed.

- Sexual Harassment Lawyers have seen a 148% rise across India, of which Bangalore, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai contributed more than 70%.

Commenting on the findings, Satya Prabhakar, CEO, Sulekha, said, "The study shows the increasing trust that Indians have started to show towards the law and judiciary system.
