Investigation under S. 175 BNSS Archives

Magistrate must hear Police Officer and pass reasoned order before ordering investigation under S. 175(3) of BNSS : Orissa HC reiterates

“If the allegations made in the complaint are simple, where the Court can straight away proceed to conduct the trial, the Magistrate is expected to record evidence and proceed further in the matter, instead of passing the buck to the police under Section 156(3) of the CrPC.”
