Rahul Yadav vs State & Anr on 1 March, 2018
Indubitably in view of the order passed by this Court in Rajeev Mehra
vs. State in W.P. (C) No. 2596/2007 staying the operation of invocation of
declaring Section 506 IPC as cognizable offence, the offence on the date it
was allegedly committed was non-cognizable however, as per the schedule
to the Cr.P.C. offence punishable under Section 195A IPC is a cognizable
offence. Thus, the Investigating Officer was within his power to have
registered a FIR since the complaint disclosed the commission of a
cognizable offence.
