Among its alternatives, the first proviso to section 5(1) refers to a police report on the scheduled offence forwarded to a Magistrate on completion of investigation. That report is now forwarded under section 193 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 173 CrPC, which the proviso cites; under section 8 of the General Clauses Act, 1897 the reference is read as one to section 193 BNSS). Section 173 BNSS deals with information in cognizable cases, section 180 with examination of witnesses by the police, and section 210 with cognizance of offences by Magistrates.
