Section 190 CrPC | Cognizance Limited to Charge-Sheeted Offences; No Judicial Addition of IPC Sections at Summoning Stage : Allahabad HC

Allahabad High Court rules that courts cannot take cognizance of offences not included in the charge-sheet, reinforcing the statutory limitation under Section 190 CrPC. The judgment quashes summoning orders for uncharged IPC sections, safeguarding fair trial rights and preventing judicial overreach at the pre-trial stage.
