Statement recorded by a magistrate is 164?

PAVAN KUMAR AKA (Querist) 15 June 2012 This query is : Resolved
To my knowledge, what ever be the statement recorded by a Judicial Magistrate is hit by 164 CrPC. I understand that taking down of sworn statement of a person comes under enquiry before the court under 202 CrPC.
NOW MY QUESTION IS -
01. an investigating officer produced a girl said to have gone away voluntarily with a boy and got married and returned and that girl is of below 18 years. I think though she voluntarily went away, the boy is to be connected with 363/366A. IS IT CORRECT OR NOT?
02. The investigating officer filed a requisition before the Court praying to inquire her and order to send her custody of either TO her parents or to a home. Here in this concept, is ORAL ENQUIRY IS SUFFICIENT OR THE STATEMENT OF GIRL IS TO BE RECORDED IN WRITING?
IF it is to be recorded in writing, does it hits 164 CrPC or not?

Please clarify...
