https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298747 Section 154(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure imposes a mandatory duty on the officer in charge of a police station to register a case when information discloses a cognizable offence, without testing the credibility of that information at the threshold. If registration is refused, the complainant may approach the Superintendent of Police under Section 154(3), and the existence of other remedies or a pending contempt matter does not justify non-registration. Where allegations are directed against police personnel, independent investigation by the CBI may be warranted in the interest of justice. The refusal to register the complaint was held illegal, and CBI investigation was directed. en-us Tue, 21 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 18 Nov 2021 11:41:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298747 Section 154(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure imposes a mandatory duty on the officer in charge of a police station to register a case when information discloses a cognizable offence, without testing the credibility of that information at the threshold.
