Hi Legal Experts,
I have a query about magistrate power and how to move after police files "b" report. In one of my friend case the police did not register the complaint of dacoity even after written complaint was given since the acussed is local corporator, the friend filed the 156(3) application and court passes the order for police to investigate and submit the report.
Since investigation was not proper he move application before the court to monitor the investigation, magistrate order 4 times for IO to be present in-person with case diary report but none of time IO appeared. So he move application in court to direct Commissioner of city to take action againt the erring IO, the court passed the order and immediately on next date the IO filed the report stating no dacoity happened by taking neigbhour statement under 161 stating that house was locked though there is video evidence of house being looted.
What is next stage of action to be taken, since there is recovery and police are hand in gloves with accussed arrest will show illegality on there part. Your response is apprecited.
