How to file a non cognizable offence complaint with the concerned magistrate of the residence district?
How to find out which is the concerned magistrate?
Hello, Greetings of the day!
An FIR is filed only in the case of cognizable offence and in the case of non-cognizable offenses, If a person wants to register a complaint regarding the commission of a non-cognizable offense, he/she has to first register a complaint with the magistrate having jurisdiction. There are no strict rules pertaining to the format of a complaint. A complaint can be in the form of an affidavit or a petition or a letter. After receiving the complaint, the magistrate will decide upon the issue of cognizance. If the magistrate is satisfied that a non-cognizable offense has been committed, he can order for further investigations. And the concerned magistrate is the one who is dealing that matter or carries the jurisdiction of it.
Hope It helps
