An incomplete charge-sheet filed before completion of investigation is not such a report, and any cognizance or process based on it is unsustainable. An order extending limitation under sections 468 and 473 must also be a reasoned judicial order passed before cognizance, after notice to the accused and an opportunity of hearing; a mechanical ex parte order without reasons is illegal and without jurisdiction. en-us Mon, 11 Feb 1991 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 30 Sep 2022 10:39:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304522 Cognizance under the Code of Criminal Procedure cannot be taken on an incomplete police report, because section 173(2) contemplates a report only after investigation is complete and section 190(1)(b) requires a valid police report.
