    The court quashed the cognizance taken by the Magistrate for offences under sections 184 and 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act, holding that the police investigation and charge sheet violated section 155(2) of the CrPC, which requires prior judicial permission for non-cognizable offences. The court concluded that since section 185 is a non-cognizable offence, the police could not initiate investigation without mandatory permission from the Magistrate, and therefore acquitted the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
