2022 PCrLJ 83

Reinvestigation, further investigation or transfer of investigation is permissible even after submission of challan or for that matter framing of charge and till the time the trial is concluded. However, this, at the same time, does not mean that change of investigation or further investigation can be ordered as par for the course. There are certain postulates that have to be met before an order for further investigation or reinvestigation or transfer thereof can be passed. Such an order may be passed if some new event or incident is discovered warranting reinvestigation or further investigation. Such an order can also be made if some new evidence is discovered. Such an order can also be passed if the previous investigations have been conducted unilaterally without associating the actual culprit involved and without trying to identify and ascertain the person responsible for committing the crime. The police does not have an unfettered power in this respect and reinvestigation or further investigation may only be carried out if some further material relating to the case is required or if the previous investigation is malafide or in excess of jurisdiction. Under what circumstances, reinvestigation or further investigation may be conducted.
