Such materials may sufficiently support cognizance without the full witness examination contemplated for ordinary private complaints. On that basis, a committal order based on the authorised officer's complaint is not vitiated for want of Section 202(2) enquiry, and the Sessions Court is bound to proceed and take cognizance under Section 193. en-us Tue, 24 Jul 1990 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:16:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=80753 The mandatory enquiry under Section 202(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure applies to private complaints, especially where the case is triable exclusively by the Court of Session, but it does not govern a complaint filed by an authorised public servant under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act on the basis of seizure, enquiry, recorded statements and other collected materials.
