BNSS Section 2(1)(h) | Charge Sheets for Non-Cognizable Offences Must Be Treated as Complaints, Not Police Cases : Allahabad HC
Allahabad High Court rules that charge sheets filed for non-cognizable offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) must be processed as complaints under BNSS Section 2(1)(h), not as police cases. The court set aside the improper cognizance, emphasizing that Investigating Officers cannot proceed as complainants without adhering to complaint case procedures, impacting how non-cognizable offences are adjudicated.
