Please note that the above review is a general overview of the CRPC 1898 and is not a substitute for professional legal advice.
The law distinguishes between serious ( cognizable ) and minor ( non-cognizable ) crimes. For serious crimes, the police can arrest a suspect immediately to prevent them from fleeing, while for others, they need a warrant from a Magistrate.
