The Supreme Court has reaffirmed that for investigation under Section 202, CrPC, evidence of witnesses on behalf of the complainant can be taken through affidavit.  In this case, the High Court had held that the failure to comply with the order under Section 202(1) of CrPC made the issuance process illegal, thereby quashing the order.  However, the High Court did not specify any further action regarding the Section 202 investigation.
