https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198333 A Magistrate is not permitted to re-examine the complainant under Section 202 CrPC after the complainant has already been examined under Section 200 and a police inquiry has been ordered. Section 200 requires the complainant's examination before process is considered, while Section 202 only authorises postponement of process and inquiry or investigation after that initial stage. The second examination under Section 202, followed by issuance of process, was treated as contrary to the statutory scheme, making the summoning order legally unsustainable. The process order was therefore quashed. en-us Tue, 01 Jul 1997 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 15:49:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198333 A Magistrate is not permitted to re-examine the complainant under Section 202 CrPC after the complainant has already been examined under Section 200 and a police inquiry has been ordered.
