WHETHER COMPLAINANT CAN BE THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER?


The Supreme Court in case of Mohan Lal  vs State of Punjab CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.1880 OF 2011 SC 16Aug 2018 held that:-

   Complainant can’t be the investigating officer. In a case where Report is submitted by the police officer and on his report FIR was registered, subsequently he cannot be the investigating officer in that case.
  The Investigating officer must be an officer senior to the complainant officer.
