The police also cannot unilaterally substitute a filed final report by deleting accused persons or material particulars, except through further investigation under Section 173(8). Where the investigation appears incomplete, the High Court may direct further investigation, including by a specialised agency, and may stay the trial to avoid premature continuation while fresh material is collected. en-us Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 17:46:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313128 A Magistrate cannot return a police final report merely on a judicial objection to the naming of accused persons, because the report must be considered on the material placed under Section 173(2).
