For Petitioner:Mr.C.Muthusaravanan For Respondent:Mr.R.M.Anbunithi, Government Advocate (Crl. Side) ORDER The order of the Learned Judicial Magistrate, Theni in Cr.M.P.No.6494 of 2010 in C.C.No.187 of 2010 dated 22.01.2011 is under challenge in the present revision. 2.The contention of the petitioner in sum and substance is that the investigation in case in Crime No.92 of 2010 stood completed and charge sheet has been filed under Sections 147, 452, 323 and 506(i) IPC Thereafter, a representation was addressed by the first accused to the Superintendent of Police, Theni District, who acting thereupon, transferred the investigation in the case from Inspector of Police, Theni Police Station to Inspector of Police, Allinagaram Police Station and further directed that permission of the lower Court for conduct of further investigation under Section 173(8) Cr.P.C. be obtained. On such petition being moved, the de-facto complainant has objected thereto informing that further investigation could not flow on a representation of an accused in the case The lower Court allowed the petition seeking further investigation on consideration that while further investigation could be directed by Court only at the pre-cognizance stage, at the post cognizance stage, there was no impediment to the investigating agency acting on its own and entering upon a further investigation and filing a further report before the Court. 3.Without going into the question of whether further investigation can flow at the behest of one accused in the case, we would merely state that the lower Court is right in informing that there is no bar to the investigating agency in taking up further investigation at the post cognizance stage. For the said reason, this revision shall stand dismissed Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petition also is dismissed.
