Which of the following statements of law is incorrect in the context of the decision of the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P. (2008)?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P. recognised the Magistrate's wide powers under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. (now Section 175(3) BNSS) to direct registration of an FIR and to monitor the investigation, but not a power to order fresh reinvestigation after a final report, so the incorrect statement is "Magistrate can order reinvestigation and re-opening of investigation on submission of final report by Police if investigation not done satisfactorily."
