Dear Sir, Whenever a private complaint is lodged and after recording of evidence of complainant and marking of documents, the Magistrate has to apply his mind has to whether cognizance to be taken (whether summons to be issued to the Accused) or the Complaint to be dismissed. If cognizance is not taken then complaint will be dismissed.
