Can Police re-investigate after submitting the Charge Sheet..? YES..Which is under IPC 173(8). Example below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honble Supreme Court of India in Rama Chaudhary v. State of Bihar[AIR 2009 SC 2308], the bench headed by Honble Justices S.B.Sinha and P.Sadasivam opined that the law does not mandate taking of prior permission from Magistrate for carrying out a further investigation even after filing of report. It is a statutory right of Police. Report of police officer on completion of investigation is dealt within Section 173 of the Code. 173(8) of the Code says that nothing will preclude a further investigation after a report has been forwarded to the magistrate. It goes on saying that if the officer in charge of the police station obtains further evidence, oral or documentary, he shall forward to the Magistrate a further report or reports regarding such evidence in the form prescribed. Thus there is express granting of power on the police to conduct further investigation if he obtains further evidence after submission of charge sheet
