The Supreme Court recognizes several benefits of ante-timing of FIR in favor of the accused. These include:

• Presumption of innocence: Ante-timing of FIR provides a presumption of innocence to the accused until proven guilty, as it allows them the opportunity to establish their innocence from the beginning.
• Prevents misuse of power: It acts as a safeguard against the misuse of power by authorities, ensuring that the accused are not implicated in false cases for personal or political reasons.
• Promotes fair investigation: Ante-timing of FIR allows for a more fair and impartial investigation where evidence can be collected and preserved without any bias or influence.
• Protects against fabrication of evidence: It helps prevent the fabrication of evidence by ensuring that the accused is not falsely implicated after the occurrence of an incident or crime.
• Ensures consistency and transparency: Ante-timing of FIR promotes consistency and transparency in the criminal justice system, as it ensures that the same set of rules and procedures apply to all accused individuals.

These benefits uphold the principles of justice, fairness, and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, which are fundamental tenets of a democratic society.
