The Madras High Court has referred to a larger Bench the issue of deciding how the police and the trial courts should deal with complaints and counter complaints in which the aggressor and the victim end up playing role reversal by presenting two different narrations about the same incident.
Justice N. Anand Venkatesh took the decision after finding that the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, a central law which traces its source to Entry III of the concurrent list in the seventh schedule to the Constitution, does not lay down any definite procedure for the investigation of a case and a case in counter.
