156(3) CRPC

Respected Members

 

Pvt Complaint has been filled with JMFC court and enquiry under 156(3) has been ordered, with direction to Police to enquire and submit the report.

 

Police after taking statements, making enquiry, come to the conclusion on certain facts and submitted their report to court indicating nil report i.e. no offence made out of the complaint.

 

Being aggrieved by this submission of police, advocate for complainant has pressed a lot in the matter and court has again order to police, to make enquiry and submit report.

 

Whether court can pass an order for conducting an enquiry second time, what is the remedy available to challenge this type of order.

 

Please provide if any case law is available.

 

Thanks

Mahesh

If the court is not satisfy with the report of the police further investigation 173 (8) CrPC can be ordered. But court cannot press the police for make the inquiry on particular view.

in section 156 (3) the order was given to registered the FIR or 202 CrPC for inquiry. if the FIR was regsitered and cancellation report has been submitted then you can file Protest Petition.

Fresh investigation.—In the facts of the present case, the Court is satisfied that

the complaints, which were filed in respect of malfeasance and misfeasance within thee

jurisdiction of the Ahmedabad Police, were not in respect of the same cognizable offence

or  the  same  occurrence  giving rise  to  one  or  more  cognizable  offences,  nor  were  they

alleged  to  have  been  committed  in  the  course  of  the  same  transaction  or  the  same

occurrence.—Rameshchandra  Nandlal  Parikh  vs.  State  of  Gujarat  &  Anr.,  2006  CrLJ

964 (SC) =  2006 (1) Scale 254 (SC) =  AIR 2006 SC 915 =  2006 (1) SCC 732 (SC) =

2006 (1) JT 326 (SC).

The Court is of the opinion that the investigation conducted so far does not inspire

confidence  and,  therefore,  there  is  an  imperative  need  that  further  investigation  is

conducted  in  the  matter  by  somewhat  better  equipped  and  independent  investigation

agency.—M. P. Singh Rathore vs. State of NCT of Delhi & Ors., 2006 CrLJ 1366 (Del) =

2006 (3) Cur CriR 284 (Del) = 2006 (127) DLT 317 (Del).

The High Court  was right  in observing that  the FIRs,  which were under challenge

before it, were regarding independent and distinct offences. Hence, the FIRs could not be

prohibited  on  the  ground  that  some  other  FIR  had  been  filed  against  the  Petitioner  in

respect  of  other  allegations  made  against  the  Petitioner.—Rameshchandra  Nandlal

Parikh vs. State of Gujarat & Anr., 2006 CrLJ 964 (SC) = 2006 (1) Scale 254 (SC) = AIR

2006 SC 915 = 2006 (1) SCC 732 (SC) = 2006 (1) JT 326 (SC).

 

Exercise of power under Section 156(3) of the Code by

the Magistrate may be viewed from another angle. Direction for further investigation can

be given even after the investigation culminates in submitting a report under Section 173.

To state precisely, the Code enjoins a duty upon officer-in-charge of a Police Station to

register  in  FIR  if  the  report  reveals  commission  of  a  cognizable  offence.—Ram  Babu Gupta & Anr. vs. State of U.P. & Ors., 2001 CrLJ 3363 (All) = 2001 All LJ 849 (All) = 2001 (43) All CriC 50 (All) = 2001 (3) Rec CriR 698 (All).

 

 Power  to  direct  investigation  or  further  investigation  is  entirely  different  from  the

method and procedure of investigation and the competence of the person to investigate.

Section 3 of the Act as interpreted by us deals with the powers of the State Govt. to direct

further investigation into the case.—State of Bihar & Anr. vs. J. A. C. Saldanna & Ors.

AND R. P. Singh vs. J. A. C.  Saldanna & Ors.,  AIR 1980 SC 326 =  1980 (2) SCR 16

(SC) = 1980 (1) SCC 554 (SC) = 1980 CrLJ 98 (SC).

thanks to vyas sir for producing the encyclopedia .THeWORD NARAJI is used in bengal is nothing but a protest petition. though out of subject matter may i request you to give yr openion regarding revision of an order passed u/s 156(3) of crpc . since it ia aninterlocutory order it is not revisible. am i correct?

DEEPAK ASSOCIATES (08010117611)     31 October 2010

The order u/s 156 (3) is amenable to revisional jurisdiction being it is a judicial order

the Auhority in this regards is   Ajai Malviya Vs State of UP and othes 2001 (1) RCR ( Criminal) 83 ( Allahabad High Court ) (DB)
