s 113Public not to have right to compel police officer to investigate alleged offences

Nothing in this Chapter is deemed to confer any right upon any member of the public to compel any police officer to investigate whether an offence and, if so, what offence, has been committed but it shall be the duty of any police officer making an investigation under this Chapter upon request in that behalf by the informant to inform him whether the police propose to prosecute and, if so, in respect of what offences.
