Court is not bound to wait for subsequent challan

The police is bound to submit police report under section 173 of Criminal Procedure Code within 14 days after the arrest of accused. Three days grace period can be given to concerned I/O in the late submission of Police Report.

The police report submitted under section 173 of CRPC is called challan. It shows the completion of police inquiry.

A court is not bound to wait for the arrival of a subsequent challan while proceeding in a criminal trial. Once a challan is presented in the court, the court can proceed with the trial of case. Police can investigate the matter as long as it is not decided by the court.

However, police has no control over the court. The Judge is not bound to wait for any proceeding on police in the matter as the court has to take its own course in accordance with law.

Solution to corrupt investigation by Police

It often happens that the police investigates a criminal case very poorly. The reason is that the investigation officer is the person on whom the entire investigation is dependent. It is easy for the offender and his supporters to bribe that person and get maximum favors from him in getting the poor investigation done.

In such like circumstances it is best to change the investigating officer and get the case re-investigated. Proper procedure of re-investigation is to file application before the senior officials of police. They usually replace the investigation officer and order for re-investigation of case.

If a criminal case is not properly investigated, it is hard to prove it in the court of law. Because the prosecution has to prove a criminal case beyond the shadow of any doubt. So if investigation is poor, the case has doubts and ultimately it results in poor decision.
