Sir,
witness of arresting and recovery, who has signed on recovery memo, is IO also. Whether it is a lacuna of prosecution.
PLZ refer citation on this point if any, in favour of defence.

Sir one forest officer who was one of arresting personal and who recovered the forest produce from accused and signed the recovery memo. He investigated the same matter later and filed charge sheet. Whether he can ?
general rule is that, if complainant is police officer, he can't investigate the matter and investigation is transferred to another officer.
