Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a person is found dead under mysterious circumstances in a small town. The body is discovered by a local resident who immediately informs the police. The police begin their investigation under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to determine the cause of death.

Given the suspicious nature of the death, the nearest Magistrate, who is empowered to hold inquests, decides to conduct an independent inquiry into the cause of death under Section 176(1) of the Code. The Magistrate exercises their powers to gather evidence, record statements from witnesses, and ascertain the circumstances of the death.
