"12. It should also be noted that Section
156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure
provides for a check by the Magistrate on the
police performing their duties and where the
Magistrate finds that the police have not
done their duty or not investigated
satisfactorily, he can direct the Police to
carry out the investigation properly, and can
monitor the same. (see Sakiri Vasu v. State
of U.P. (2008) 2 SCC 409).
