Protest Petition – An Explainer

/ Leave a Comment / Criminal Law

A protest petition allows a complainant or informant to challenge a police closure report or final report when they believe the investigation was incomplete, incorrect, or ignored important evidence. After considering the police report and objections, the Magistrate may accept the closure report, reject it and take cognizance where legally justified, order further investigation, or treat the protest petition as a complaint in appropriate cases. A strong protest petition should clearly identify investigative gaps, overlooked evidence, relevant witnesses, and reasons why the police conclusion should not be accepted.

Difference Between Police Custody And Judicial Custody

/ 1 Comment / Criminal Law

The word ‘custody’ means apprehending someone for protective care. The words “custody” and “arrest” are not synonymous. It is true that in every arrest there is custody but vice versa is not true. Mere utterance of words or gesture or flickering of eyes does not amount to arrest. Actual seizure or touch of a person’s body with a view to arresting is necessary.
