Order to pay costs in non cognizable cases permits courts to award prosecution expenses and imprisonment for default. When a conviction follows a complaint of a non cognizable offence, the court may order the accused to pay, in whole or in part, the complainant's prosecution costs- including process fees, witness expenses and advocate's fees which the court considers reasonable-and may, for default of payment, impose simple imprisonment not exceeding thirty days. An Appellate Court, the High Court or a Court of Session in revision may make the same order.
