Yes, a Metropolitan Magistrate in India can order judicial custody for a case filed under column 12 with charges under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. This is because the Magistrate has the power to order judicial custody for any offense, including those under IPC section 306 (abetment of suicide).

We filed an FIR and the brothers’ bond was cancelled. What should we do now?
