Information in Non-Cognizable Offences in Law has been defined in Section 2(l) of Criminal Procedure Code 1973. Non-cognizable offence means an offence for which, and `non-cognizable case’ means a case in which, a police officer without any warrant has no authority to arrest. Non-Cognizable offenses are not much serious in nature.
Difference Between Cognizable Offence and Non Cognizable Offence?
Offence implies an illegal act or a crime. On the other hand, the non-cognizable offence can be described as the offence in which the police cannot arrest any person without warrant and express permission of the court is also required for investigation.
