Once you file the protest petition with the court master/court clerk, the Magistrate follows one of three procedural paths:
| Scenario | Magistrate’s Action | | :--- | :--- | | 1. Magistrate agrees with police | Issues notice to complainant. If complainant fails to prove otherwise, the court accepts the closure report and closes the case. | | 2. Magistrate finds prima facie merit in protest | Treats the protest petition as a complaint case. Proceeds under Section 200 CrPC (examines complainant on oath) and issues process against accused. | | 3. Magistrate finds investigation deficient | Passes a speaking order rejecting the police report and orders "Further Investigation" (new IO, fresh evidence). |
