Sections 173 to 175, Sections 179 – 184, Section 187, Section 193, Section 196.
In the scheme of the BNSS, 2023, for the purposes of setting criminal investigation
machinery into motion, offences are classified into two categories: (i) cognizable
offences and (ii) non-cognizable offences. In case of cognizable offences, a police
officer can arrest an accused without a warrant but in case of non-cognizable offences
EC (1270) - 27.07.2024

he cannot arrest or investigate into such an offence without authorization in this behalf
by the magistrate. In case of cognizable offences, an F.I.R forms the basis for putting
the investigative machinery into motion. A general overall view of investigation will
be given to the students with special emphasis on the essentials of F.I.R and its
evidentiary value, police officer’s powers to investigate cognizable cases, procedure for
investigation, police officer’s powers to require attendance of witnesses, examination
of witnesses by the police, recording of confessions and statements and report of police
officer on completion of investigation.
