Antony Vs. State of Kerala & Ors on 12 July, 2001 Appeal (Crl.) 689 of 2001 The scheme of the Cr.P.C. is that an officer in charge of a Police Station has to commence investigation as provided in Section 156 or 157 of Cr.P.C. on the basis of entry of the First Information Report, on coming to know of the commission of a cognizable offence. On completion of investigation and on the basis of evidence collected he has to form opinion under Section (3 of 4) [CRLMB-3053/2026] 169 or 170 of Cr.P.C., as the case may be, and forward his report to the concerned Magistrate under Section 173(2) of Cr.P.C. However, even after filing such a report if he comes into possession of further information or material, he need not register a fresh FIR, he is empowered to make further investigation, normally with the leave of the court, and where during further investigation he collects further evidence, oral or documentary, he is obliged to forward the same with one or more further reports; this is the import of sub-section (8) of Section 173 Cr.P.C. From the above discussion it follows that under the scheme of the provisions of Sections 154, 155, 156,157, 162, 169, 170 and 173 of Cr.P.C. only the earliest or the first information in regard to the commission of a cognizable offence satisfies the requirements of Section 154 Cr.P.C. Thus there can be no second F.I.R. and consequently there can be no fresh investigation on receipt of every subsequent information in respect of the same cognizable offence or the same occurrence or incident giving rise to one or more cognizable offences. On receipt of information about a cognizable offence or an incident giving rise to a cognizable offence or offences and on entering the F.I.R. in the station house diary, the officer in charge of a Police Station has to investigate not merely the cognizable offence reported in the FIR but also other connected offences found to have been committed in the course of the same transaction or the same occurrence and file one or more reports as provided in Section 173 of the Cr.P.C. mudk ;g Hkh rdZ gS fd izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr ds fxj¶rkj fd, tkus dh fLFkfr esa mldh lkekftd izfr"Bk [kjkc gksxhA vr% vfxze tekur dk izkFkZuk&i= Lohdkj fd;k tk,A blds foijhr fo}ku yksd vfHk;kstd dk rdZ gS fd izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr us Hkaojyky dks >wBs eqdnesa esa Qlkus vkSj mls ml eqdnes ls fudkyus ds cnys esa pkj yk[k #i;s dh fj'or ekaxh] ftlds laca/k esa ,lhch }kjk Vªsi dh dk;Zokgh dh xbZ gS] ijarq izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr ekSds ls Qjkj gks x;kA ml izdj.k esa izkFkhZ ds fo#) vuqla/kku py jgk gSA mudk rdZ gS fd vuqla/kku ds nkSjku ;g Kkr gqvk fd lgvfHk;qDr vdje] tks fd ,lhch ds izdj.k esa ekSds ls idM+k x;k gS] }kjk Lo;a dks iqfyl Fkkuk Hkokuhe.Mh dk flikgh fnus'k dqekj crkdj izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr fgrs'k dqekj dh ekSu Lohd`fr ds lkFk yksxksa dks >awBs eqdnes esa Qalkus dk Hk; fn[kkdj jkf'k olwy djrk gSA mudk rdZ gS fd izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr dh Hkh blesa Hkwfedk jgh gSA vr% izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr dks vfxze tekur dh lqfo/kk iznku ugha dh tkosA geus mHk;i{kdkjksa ds rdksZa ij euu fd;kA i=koyh dk /;kuiwoZd v/;;u fd;kA ,lhch }kjk tks izFke lwpuk fjiksVZ la[;k 291@2025 ntZ dh xbZ gS] (4 of 4) [CRLMB-3053/2026] mlesa izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr ij Hkaojyky rSyh dks ,uMhih,l ds >qaBs eqdnes esa Qalkus dh /kedh nsus vkSj fQj izdj.k ntZ ugha djus gsrq fj'or ekaxus dk vfHk;ksx gSA ml izdj.k esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; us izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr dks fnukad 02-02-2026 dks varfje vfxze tekur dk vuqrks"k iznku fd;k x;k gS vkSj fuEu vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS fd& "The petitioner shall be released on bail by the Investigation/arrestion officer on such terms and conditions as imposed and found to be just, fair and reasonable." orZeku izFke lwpuk fjiksVZ ds rF;ksa dk voyksdu djus ls Li"V gS fd izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr ds fo#) iwoZ izFke lwpuk fjiksVZ esa tks vk{ksi yxk, x, gSa] os gh vk{ksi orZeku izdj.k esa Hkh yxk, x, gSa rFkk fdlh vU; O;fDr ls izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr }kjk xyr igpku ¼Impersonation½ ls jkf'k olwyus dk rF; izFken`"V;k vafdr ugha gSA ;g vk{ksi lgvfHk;qDr vdje ls lacaf/kr gSA izdj.k ds rF;ksa ,oa ifjfLFkfr;ksa dks rFkk fo}ku vf/koDrk izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr }kjk izLrqr rdksZa ,oa bl izkFkZuk dks /;ku esa j[krs gq, fd izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr vuqla/kku esa Hkkx ysus ds fy, rRij gS rFkk eq[; izdj.k@izFke lwpuk fjiksVZ la[;k 291@2025 esa mls varfje vfxze tekur dk ykHk ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk fn;k x;k gS] bl izdze ij ekeys ds xq.kkoxq.k ij dksbZ fVIi.kh fd;s fcuk] izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr dks funsZf'kr fd;k tkrk gS fd og fnukad 07-03-2026 dks ;k mlls iwoZ vuqla/kku vf/kdkjh ds le{k mifLFkr gksdj vuqla/kku esa lg;ksx djsxk vkSj vuqla/kku vf/kdkjh izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr ls vko';d vuqla/kku dj izdj.k dh dsl Mk;jh e; rF;kRed fjiksVZ vkxkeh lquokbZ frfFk ij fo}ku yksd vfHk;kstd ds ek/;e ls U;k;ky; esa izLrqr djsxkA i=koyh fnukad 18-03-2026 dks lwphc) dh tk,] rc rd izFke lwpuk fjiksVZ la[;k 17@2026 esa izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr dks fxjQ~rkj ugha fd;k tk;sA izkFkhZ&vfHk;qDr ds fnukad 07-03-2026 rd vuqla/kku vf/kdkjh ds le{k mifLFkr ugha gksus dh fLFkfr esa ;g varfje vkns'k Lor% fujLr le>k tkosA (SHUBHA MEHTA),J NIMIT GOYAL /176
