Correct Answer: (4) Both (1) and (2)
Note: (4) Under Section 154 of Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, any officer in charge of a police station may, without the order of a Magistrate, investigate any cognizable case which a Court having jurisdiction over the local area within the limits of such station would have power to inquire into or try under the provisions of Chapter XIII. However, man a time, police officers are reluctant to register FIR for various reasons, even if it be their duty to do. It is in such a situation that a complaint can be filed before the Magistrate having jurisdiction, who can then direct police under Section 156(3) of the Cr.P.C. to conduct investigation.
Non-cognizable offence is a case in which a police officer has no authority to arrest without a Warrant form the Magistrate; the police needs to take order u/s 155(2) of Cr.P.C from the Magistrate. Once such order is received form the Magistrate the police may treat the said case the same way as it is a cognizable offence.
