Student Bar Association, NLSIU
When I joined the bar in 1988. I was probably the only woman practicing and I was viewed as
some kind of a strange creature. People could n't quite figure out why I was there on the
criminal side, which is generally perceived as an area of law, which is dirty that nobody wants to
kind of put their fingers into and why in God 's name are you going to do criminal law. the first
part of the lecture will be We will be analyzing the various judgments and death penalty and the
evolution of law in the distance that seems to be quite a topic of discussion. These days after
the Yaqoob name and execution. the last bit which will be the final bit will be I hope a more
interactive session where where I will talk about the importance of being a criminal defense
lawyer. a police. Officer is entitled to investigate a crime at the end of it. It is the investigating
officers opinion as to whether the crime has been committed by X y or Z, which is of relevance.
the investigating officer is of the opinion that the persons before him whom he has investigated
are not responsible for the crime or when he has not got sufficient evidence to take this further
he generally filed what is known as a closure report..
The case that you have started on your first information report is now thought to be closed. If
you have anything to say about it. You are welcome to join me. at the time the closure report is
being considered. You have not only the investigation see arguing before the court why the
case. You accused you also have the first informants from complainant who is brought back by
a notice issued by a court of closing This say or more often than not holding the filter. What say
does n't keep. court does after it receives the 173 report. It takes what is known as cognizance
of the effect. This if you turn on to section 190 of the CRpd, you will see chapter 40 conditions
requisite for initiation of the PD and we can reach that after you read that for me just read lines
in a 190. Subsection 1. 191 A upon a complaint of facts which constitutes such offence Is a
police report of such facts.. 191 C is actually much looser, less formal kind of a situation where a
magistrate is told neither by an identifiable complainant, nor by the police that a serious crime
has taken place. the CBi is an organization which is established under the Delhi Police
Establishment Act. the CPr is no separate in is just another wing of the investigator. You have
states which have ascites you have crime branches. You have to CBi is another another
nomenclature given to another another investigator being of the state right..
When you file a complaint, your complaint must be annexed with a list of witnesses and
documents that you will be seeking to prove through your own procedure. the magistrate on
examining the complaint and examining the testimony of the complainants and its witnesses
may come to the conclusion that no offence is made out and dismiss the complaint that
dismissal is made under 203. F ir will then be registered statements of witnesses under 161 and
a charge sheet will be filed under 173. At which point the magistrate will take cognizance of the
offence, under which provision 1a or 1b 1B because the complaint has now merged with the
charge sheet and then the summoning takes place under section 2 0-4.. There There is no bar
as far as the magistrate is concerned to direct the registration of an F ir on a private complaint.
Even if the offense is a noncognitive right now, so this kind of finishes the entire and this is really
