Bhagwant Singh vs Commissioner Of Police, Delhi on 6 May, 1983
Therefore, the stress is on the" issue of notice by the Magistrate at the
time of consideration of the report. If the informant is not aware as to
when the matter is to be considered, obviously, he cannot be faulted, even
if protest petition in reply to the notice issued by the police has been
filed belatedly. But as indicated in Bhagwant Singh's case (supra) the
right is conferred on the informant and none else.

Abhinandan Jha & Ors vs Dinesh Mishra(With Connected Appeal) on 17 April, 1967
In Abhinandan Jha and Another v. Dinesh Mishra, AIR(1968) SC 117, this
Court while considering the provisions of Sections 156(3), 169, 178 and 190
of the Code held that there is no power, expressly or impliedly conferred,
under the Code, on a Magistrate to call upon the police to submit a charge
sheet, when they have sent a report under Section 169of the Code, that
there is no case made out for sending up an accused for trial. The
functions of the Magistracy and the police are entirely different, and the
Magistrate cannot impinge upon the jurisdiction of the police, by
compelling them to change their opinion so as to accord with his view.
However, he is not deprived of the power to proceed with the matter. There
is no obligation on the Magistrate to accept the report if he does not
agree with the opinion formed by the police. The power to take cognizance
notwithstanding formation of the opinion by the police which is the final
stage in the investigation has been provided for in Section 190(l)(c).
