if the TRIAL is going on then accused can object to further investigation because accused has constitutional right to speedy trial.
But still police can conduct further investigation without obtaining any order from the magistrate. in this situation magistrate is required to refrain hinself from procding further till the supplimentory challan is filed.
Just read sec. 173 of Cr.P.C.

The job of police ends on filing challan under section 173 Cr. PC so without informing trial court, police cannot conduct further investigation in that case. Though acused can object at any stage but definitely police can re-investigate or may further investigate even under section 173 (8) Cr. P.C.

K. Chandrasekhar vs. State of Kerala and Others. (1998) 5 SCC 223.
" The law does not mandate taking prior permission from the Magistrate for further investigation. It is
settled law that carrying out further investigation even after filing of the charge-sheet is a statutory right of the
police."

I ll go with N Ramesh.

No matter police has filed chargesheet. Still police's power of further investigation has not come to be ceased.

But James asking for right to hear at the process of investigation.

Nowhere contemplated the due process and manner of investigations in any law. Only confered to the police is the rights to collect evidence of offence against an accused. But where Police is not conducting fair investigation it may be challenged before HIGH COURT under 482 CrPC.

i too agree with N RAMESH,the intimation is in its nature may at best be called a pro to call as police needs no permission to investigate further.

Mr.,Ganesh
After framing charges witnesses were examined.But before closure prosecution evidence ,police wants to conduct further investigation and filed a report before the court stating that a further investigation under 173(8) crpc is started.
Accused opposed the report and wants a detailed hearing.Prosecution submitted that accused need not be heard on this matter as permission from court is not necessary to conduct further investigation.Now he question is Whether the stand of prosecution is correct or not?
