The investigating officer should be fair and conscious so as to rule out any possibility of fabrication of evidence and his impartial conduct must dispel any suspicion as to its genuineness.

The same Division Bench had occasion to deal with similar issue at later point of time in the case of Ankush Vs. State of Maharashtra.

Crime was registered under Sections 26, 27 and 59 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and under Sections 188, 272,273 and 328 of the I.P.C. The petitioner therein had challenged the F.I.R. relating to the aforesaid offences. It was observed that if section 328 of I.P.C. is properly analyzed, then prima facie, the Court is of the view that Section 328 of I.P.C. can be made applicable in view of the language used in the later part of the Section. The accused is running a business establishment and at the time of search of his business, huge quantity of the contraband was seized. Therefore, prima facie case of the accused is covered by later part of Section 328 of I.P.C. In para 29 of the said decision, it was observed that, since the case of the petitioner is covered by the Sajakali Jamadar 61 of 66 Common Order-ABA-799-2022 and ors.doc later part of the language of Section 328 of I.P.C., at least prima facie, an impediment cannot be created for the Investigating Officer to investigate into the crime. If the prayer made by the applicant is granted, it would amount to stalling the investigation which is right of the Investigating Officer to investigate into the matter, especially when prima facie material is available on record that the accused has committed offence for which the crime is registered against him. The prayer for stay for investigation was rejected. Prayers for no coercive steps or arrest of the accused in the said crime were also rejected.
