This query is : Resolved
Section 173 (8) of CrPC-1973 (the investigating officer has power to further investigate the case after submission of charge sheet to the court)
After submission of charge sheet can police take further investigate of a case suo moto or they have to take prior permission from the court for doing further investigation (not reinvestigation)?

No permission is required. It upto the investigation officer to file additional charge sheet/investigation report/challan. But denovo fresh investigation/re investigation cannot be carried out.
The following cases supreme court has given directions.
2004 SCC (Cri)1603 and AIR 2008 SC 3102
