Select the right arrangement?

Appeared in: AIIMS Delhi NO - 2018

Explanation

The correct sequence follows a cause-and-effect progression in the Indian criminal justice system.
A 'Crime' is the initial event that triggers a response from law enforcement.
The 'Police' are the agency that responds to the crime.
The police then file a 'First Information Report' (FIR), which is the first official step to document the crime and initiate an investigation.
Only after an investigation and potential arrest can an accused person seek 'Court Bail' for temporary release.

Option A: This sequence is incorrect because the police are involved before an FIR is filed and long before court bail is considered.
Option B: This is incorrect because an FIR (First Information Report) is filed after a crime has been committed and reported, not before.
Option D: This sequence is illogical. While police respond to crime, a specific crime must occur first to trigger the subsequent actions of filing an FIR and seeking bail.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical sequencing of events in the criminal justice process as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This is a general knowledge question testing logical reasoning, not a clinical one.
However, understanding the basic legal process is important for nurses, especially in forensic nursing or when dealing with medico-legal cases like assault, abuse, or negligence.
A nurse may be required to give a statement to the police, which becomes part of the evidence collected after an FIR is filed.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the initial event that sets the entire process in motion. In this case, a 'Crime' must occur before any other action can be taken.
Next, think about the immediate consequence or response to the initial event. The 'Police' are the agency that responds to a crime.
Then, consider the formal procedural steps. The police must officially document the incident by filing a 'First Information Report' (FIR) to start an investigation.
Finally, place the subsequent legal actions. 'Court Bail' is a step that happens later in the process, after an arrest has been made and the case is before the judiciary.
