https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=421377 Section 309(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure permits remand during an inquiry or trial, and the inquiry stage may begin once a complaint or police report is filed and the court applies its mind to the material. Taking cognizance is not a mandatory recorded formality in every case, and the scheme of the Code preserves continuity of custody from investigation to the stage when the trial court assumes remand control. Accordingly, the absence or delay of formal cognizance does not by itself make further remand illegal or justify release on that ground. The application for release failed, and the trial court was directed to decide cognizance expeditiously. en-us Tue, 19 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 23 Apr 2022 08:33:38 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=421377 Section 309(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure permits remand during an inquiry or trial, and the inquiry stage may begin once a complaint or police report is filed and the court applies its mind to the material.
