Judgment text as reported

ZEESHAN ANJUM VS State S.462-O---Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898), S.195---Offences relating to electricity---Cognizance---Scope---S.462-O of P.P.C. when juxtaposed with S.195 of Cr.P.C. transpires that under S.195 of Cr.P.C., court shall straight away take cognizance of offences on the complaint in writing of Public Servant/Court and no other restriction has been imposed like recording of reasons before taking cognizance---Words "reasons to be recorded" used in S. 462-O of P.P.C., are very valuable and meaningful because electricity theft is gauged through technical report which requires an expert opinion so as to facilitate the court to reach out direct to the essence of the offence and may not remain entangled about an exercise of applicability of offences for proper charging.
