    The court quashed the cognizance taken by the Magistrate for offences under sections 184 and 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act, finding that the police investigation violated section 155(2) of the CrPC by proceeding without prior judicial authorization. The court held that for non-cognizable offences, police must obtain magistrate permission before investigation, and the charge sheet cannot substitute for a complaint; therefore, the entire proceeding was illegal and the accused was acquitted. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
