“From a plain reading of Section 195, Cr.P.C. it is manifest that it comes into operation at the stage when the Court intends to take cognizance of an offence under Section 190(1), Cr.P.C.; and it has nothing to do with the statutory power of the police to investigate into an F.I.R. which discloses a cognizable offence…. In other words, the statutory power of the Police to investigate under the Code is not in any way controlled or circumscribed by Section 195, Cr.P.C.”-This was held by the Supreme Court in the case of:
