If that further investigation produces fresh material showing commission of an offence, the Magistrate may consider the new report and take cognizance when satisfied that the material warrants it. The rule against a second complaint on the same facts does not bar cognizance on a later report founded on additional evidence discovered during further investigation. In such circumstances, the later report is legally distinct from an impermissible complaint. en-us Tue, 08 Nov 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 17 Sep 2024 10:44:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=309414 Section 173(8) of the Code permits further investigation after a police report under Section 173(2), including submission of a supplementary report to the Magistrate.
