yes,as its a discritionary power of magistrate to give directions for detailed investigation if he is not satisfied with the earlier investigation but u cannot compel magistrate for doing it if magistrate is satisfied with the investigation report, however complainant can always produce certain facts before the court and can convince the court that the present investigation report is not covering the same and further investigation is required.
