https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=300595 A complaint combining allegations under Section 498A IPC and Section 494 IPC was held capable of police investigation because Section 498A is cognizable and separately permits cognizance on a police report, while Section 198 CrPC restricts Section 494 cognizance to a complaint by the aggrieved person. Reading Sections 190, 198 and 198A together, the presence of the Section 494 allegation did not bar investigation of the composite complaint or prevent cognizance on the police report for the matters lawfully investigated. The impugned order deleting Section 494 and restraining investigation was set aside, and the complaint was directed to be investigated according to law. en-us Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 14:50:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=300595 A complaint combining allegations under Section 498A IPC and Section 494 IPC was held capable of police investigation because Section 498A is cognizable and separately permits cognizance on a police report, while Section 198 CrPC restricts Section 494 cognizance to a complaint by the aggrieved person.
