تبدیلی تفتیش پر لاہور ہائیکورٹ کا تازہ ترین رہنما فیصلہ۔ فرد جرم عائد ہونے کے باوجود تفتیش تبدیل کی جاسکتی ہے۔ پرائیویٹ استغاثہ کی دائرگی بھی تبدیلی تفتیش میں رکاوٹ نہ بن دکتی ہے

The law allows for further investigation, reinvestigation, or the transfer of an ongoing investigation even after the submission of a challan or framing of charges until the trial is concluded. However, these actions cannot be done arbitrarily; specific conditions must be satisfied, and the competent authority must provide compelling justifications for their decisions. Despite the potential for trial delays, such actions are warranted if they serve the cause of justice.

Further investigation or re-investigation can be ordered even when a private complaint is pending if the circumstances warrant it. The court may hold the challan case in abeyance and proceed with the private complaint following the law enunciated by the Supreme Court in Nur Elahi, but it cannot halt further investigation or re-investigation unless exceptional circumstances exist. Section 56(e) of the Specific Relief Act prohibits injunctions against criminal investigations, and it is also the policy of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Police Order, and the Police Rules 1934 that the investigation should continue and be completed expeditiously.
