1985 (4) TMI 346 - HC - Indian Laws

Summary

The petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code sought to set aside an order allowing the prosecution to re-examine the investigating officer to prove a confessional statement. The court emphasized the importance of fair trial, stating that disclosure statements should be recorded in first person and made available promptly. The court found recalling the investigating officer after the conclusion of evidence to be unnecessary and could lead to a miscarriage of justice. The petition was allowed, and the impugned order was set aside.
