  3. The complainant approached the Magistrate requesting direction to add those accused persons.

  4. Question arose whether Magistrate can order police to add new accused during investigation.

⚖ Legal Issue

Whether a Magistrate can direct the police to add a particular person as an accused during investigation?

🧑‍⚖ Judgment / Holding

The Gujarat High Court held:

  • The Magistrate cannot direct the Investigating Officer to add a specific person as accused during investigation.

  • Investigation is the exclusive domain of police.

  • However, the Magistrate has other powers available under law after submission of the police report.

📜 Key Legal Principles (Ratio)

1️⃣ Investigation is police domain

The court held that courts should not interfere with the manner of investigation.

2️⃣ Magistrate cannot dictate investigation

A Magistrate cannot order that a particular person be made an accused.

3️⃣ Remedy available after charge sheet

If the police do not array a person as accused:

  • Court can take cognizance under Section 190 CrPC

  • Court can summon additional accused under Section 319 CrPC during trial.

⚖ Important Legal Provisions Involved

Provision Purpose
Sec 154 CrPC FIR registration
Sec 156 CrPC Police investigation
Sec 173 CrPC Police report / charge sheet
Sec 190 CrPC Cognizance by Magistrate

📌 Key Observation of Court

The court clarified:

“A Magistrate cannot direct the Investigating Officer to array a particular person as an accused in the FIR or charge sheet.”

⚖ Practical Use for Magistrates

This case helps in applications where complainant asks the court to add accused during investigation.

Correct approach:

✔ Court should not interfere in investigation
✔ Court may monitor legality of investigation
✔ Court can take cognizance later if material exists

🧠 Viva One-Line Ratio
