Abstract : | |
The concept of rule of law, due process of law and natural justice necessitate that all crimes should be registered promptly and they should be investigated impartially and competently. Police station is the prime centre for the registration of crime and officers over there have legal power and prescribed duties to investigate the crime. Various provision of CrPC and other enactments empower police to investigate the crime to their legal and logical conclusion. Police are empowered to investigate offences both cognizable and non cognizable. The cognizable offences can be investigated by police ipso facto but for investigation non cognizable offences they have to obtain permission from appropriate authority. |
