Is it immediately after the registration of the case by the police or when it starts to ascertain the actual offence and the culprits thereof?2. If after the first information report the complainant hands over a list of the stolen property to the Sub-Inspector as soon as he arrives on the spot for investigation, is such a list inadmissible in evidence under Section 162, Criminal P.C.?2.
