Megha Singh vs State Of Haryana on 9 February, 1995
17. In the present case, the complainant and the first IO were
same person which tendency has been strongly deprecated by Apex
Court. It has been observed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the matter of
Megha Singh vs. State of Haryana (1996) XI SCC, 709 that:
"We have also noted another disturbing feature in
this case. PW 3 HC Shree Chand arrested accused.
On search being conducted by him, a pistol and a
cartridge were recovered from the accused. It was on
his complaint that a formal FIR was lodged and case
was initiated. He being complainant should not have
proceeded with the investigation of the case but he
carried on with the investigation and examining
witnesses u/s 161 Cr.P.C. Such practice, to say the
least, should not be resorted to show that there may
not be any occasion to suspect fair and impartial
investigation."
