hello ld. members.
Kindly let me know the difference between taking cognizance of offence and trying the same. I know that trying an offence is taking evidence. Taking cognizance means taking judicial notice.
But in practical what does this taking cognizance mean ?. Is it something like issuing warrants/summons to an accused or is it identical to a master court functioning under the high court, who takes care of the service/process stage in a civil case like ordering summons/notice to the defendants or respondents, substituted service, etc and transfer the case to the regular court ?
thanx in advance
