Since the wife had not personally filed the complaint but had approached the Women&#8217;s Commission, which forwarded it to the police, the Magistrate\u2019s cognizance of Section 494 IPC was legally invalid. However, the High Court upheld the charge under Section 498A IPC, as it is a cognizable offence, permitting police intervention and investigation irrespective of the mode of initiation.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Judgment_of_State_of_Orissa_vs_Sharat_Chandra_Sahu\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Judgment of <\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>State of Orissa vs Sharat Chandra Sahu<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Court examined Sections 494 and 498A of the IPC, along with Sections 198(1) and 155(4) of the CrPC, emphasizing their interplay in assessing the legality of cognizance and investigation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court scrutinized the procedural framework governing cognizance and investigation of cases involving both cognizable and non-cognizable offences. The Court particularly emphasized on Section 155(4) CrPC, which provides that if a case involves at least one cognizable offence, the entire case is to be treated as cognizable, thereby enabling the police to investigate all offences arising from the same facts. Since Section 498A IPC is a cognizable offence, the police were lawfully empowered to investigate the entire case, including the non-cognizable offence under Section 494 IPC.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Supreme Court referred to its decision in<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Preveen Chandra Mody v. State of M.P.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, wherein it was held that when an investigation is conducted concerning a cognizable offence, the police are not precluded from investigating any associated non-cognizable offences arising from the same set of facts and incorporating them into the charge-sheet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying this principle, the Court reasoned that since the allegations against the accused included both a cognizable offence (Section 498A of IPC) and a non-cognizable offence (Section 494 of IPC), the High Court erred in isolating Section 198(1) of CrPC without considering the overriding effect of Section 155(4) of CrPC. Section 155(4) of CrPC ensures that once an investigation is validly initiated in respect of a cognizable offence, the police are empowered to probe all associated offences, even if they are otherwise non-cognizable in nature. Consequently, the charge under Section 494 of IPC was sustainable based on the police report, and the High Court&#8217;s order quashing it was legally unsustainable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court allowed the appeal preferred by the State of Orissa and set aside the judgment and order dated 3rd May 1995, passed by the High Court, to the extent that it quashed the charge framed under Section 494 IPC and the proceedings arising therefrom. The Supreme Court directed the learned Magistrate to proceed with the trial and ensure its expeditious disposal.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Court held that when a case involves both cognizable and non-cognizable offences stemming from the same set of facts, the procedural requirements under Section 198(1) CrPC for taking cognizance of the non-cognizable offence are deemed to be satisfied by the legal fiction created under Section 155(4) CrPC. Consequently, the Magistrate was competent to take cognizance of the offence under Section 494 IPC based on the police charge-sheet.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
