Subrata Choudhury @ Santosh Choudhury vs The State Of Assam

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of maintainability of a second complaint after a negative Final Report under Section 173 of the Cr.P.C. The Court held that a fresh complaint on the same facts is maintainable even after the acceptance of a negative report, provided the complainant raises valid objections. The Court confirmed the High Court's decision to remand the case for fresh consideration, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that the complainant's grievances are adequately addressed under Sections 406 and 420 IPC.
