Sardar ATTIQUE UR REHMAN VS State S. 173---Report of police officer---Cancellation of FIR---Scope---Power to cancel a police case is of wide amplitude which has the effect of bringing a halt to the criminal prosecution which otherwise would entail a detailed process---Such a power, therefore, by its very nature, cannot be designed to be exercised on mere ipse dixit of the police otherwise the very purpose for conferring this power on the Magistrate on responsible level in supervisory capacity would stand defeated.
