Queen-Empress vs Mannu on 13 July, 1897

(1) Every Police officer making an investigation under this Chapter shall day by day enter his proceeding in the investigation in a diary setting forth the time at which information reached him, the time at which he began and closed his investigation, the place or places visited by him and the statement of the circumstances ascertained through his investigation." The second sub-section of the same Section authorises any Criminal Court to send for the diary and to use the same to aid it in the inquiry or trial. The object of the special diaries under Section 172 (which are commonly called 'case diaries') has been well expressed by Edge. C.J., in Qween-Empress v. Mannu 19 A. 390: "The early stages of investigation which follow on the commission of a crime must necessarily in the vast majority of cases be left to the Police and until the honesty, the capacity, the discretion and judgment of the Police can be thoroughly trusted it is necessary for the protection of the public against criminals, for the vindication of the law and for the protection of those who are charged with having committed a criminal offence that the Magistrate or Judge before whom the case is for investigation or for trial should have the means of ascertaining what was the information, true, false or misleading, which was obtained from day to day by the Police officer who was investigating the ease and what were the lines of investigation upon which the Police-officer acted.
