LAHORE: The Lahore High Court has ruled that reinvestigation, further investigation or transfer of investigation is permissible even after submission of challan or for that matter framing of charge and till the time the trial is concluded.
“However, this, at the same time, does not mean that change of investigation or further investigation can be ordered as par for the course,” Justice Muhammad Shan Gul writes in a 29-page judgement on a petition challenging an order of the inspector general of police, Punjab, recommending third investigation in a case of road accident.
