Taking cognizance
Taking cognizance legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Accused", "offence" and "case"-Connotation. It cannot be argued that the words "accused", "offence" and "case" have been used to connote the same meaning. The word "case" or "offence" has certainly much wider concept or connotation than the word "accused" or "offender". The word "offence" cannot be deemed to limit the jurisdiction to only such accused as are sent up to the Court of Session. Similarly, the word "case" comprehends more than the word "offence". "Case" may include the matter of even those against whom, according to the challan, no offence was made out. For instance, the case of those placed in column No. 2 and perhaps of those covered by clause (a) and clause (c) of subsection (1) of section 190, Cr. P. C., provided the allegations extending to them arise out of the same transaction which is the subject-matter of the case sent to the Court of Session under subsection (3) of section 190, Cr. P. C.
