AJAIB SINGH vs JOGINDER SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the complaint filed by the successor-in-office of a Magistrate under Sections 193, 195, 211, and 120B IPC was valid. It ruled that Section 559 of the Code of Criminal Procedure allows a successor to file such complaints, and this provision is applicable to all Magistrates. The Court clarified that Section 42 of the Police Act does not bar prosecutions under the IPC, and the complaint adequately disclosed multiple offences. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the validity of the complaint.
