Vinay Tyagi vs Irshad Ali @ Deepak & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed two pivotal questions regarding the jurisdiction of the Trial Court under Section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. It held that the Trial Court can indeed disregard one of the reports when multiple reports exist, provided it justifies its reasoning. Additionally, the Court clarified that the Central Bureau of Investigation is authorized to conduct a fresh investigation even after cognizance has been taken based on a police report under Section 173, thereby affirming the investigative powers of the CBI in such scenarios.
