under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The power to take cognizance of an offence means the power to initiate criminal proceedings against a person.<\/p>\n<p>A Judicial Magistrate can take cognizance of an offence on the basis of a complaint, a police report, or on his\/her own knowledge. A complaint is a statement made by a person to a Magistrate alleging that another person has committed an offence. A police report is a report made by the police to a Magistrate stating that they have investigated an offence and that they believe that a person has committed the offence.<\/p>\n<p>A Judicial Magistrate can also take cognizance of an offence on his\/her own knowledge if he\/she is satisfied that there is sufficient ground for proceeding against a person for an offence.<\/p>\n<p>The power to take cognizance of an offence is a very important power. It is the power that starts the criminal justice process. Once a Judicial Magistrate has taken cognizance of an offence, the accused person is then liable to be arrested and prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<p>(b) A Session Judge is a judicial officer who has the power to try cases of serious offences.<br \/>\n(c) The High Court is a court of appeal. It has the power to hear appeals against the orders of lower courts.<br \/>\n(d) A District Magistrate is an administrative officer who has the power to deal with a variety of administrative matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Under section 190 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, cognizance of offence is taken by the:-<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Judicial Magistrate is a judicial officer who has the power to take cognizance of offences under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
