In Indian criminal law, offences are classified as cognizable and non-cognizable based on their seriousness and the powers given to the police. This distinction determines how quickly and independently the police can act.

Cognizable offences are serious in nature. In such cases, the police can register an FIR and start investigation without prior court permission. Arrest can also be made without a warrant. Examples include murder, rape, kidnapping, and serious assault. These offences require immediate action to protect public safety.

Non-cognizable offences are less serious. Here, the police cannot register an FIR or investigate on their own. They must first obtain permission from a magistrate. Arrest without a warrant is not allowed. Examples include defamation, public nuisance, or minor hurt.

The role of the magistrate is crucial in non-cognizable cases, as judicial approval acts as a safeguard against misuse of police power. In cognizable cases, judicial oversight usually comes after police action begins.

Understanding this difference helps citizens know what legal process to expect and ensures better awareness during interactions with law enforcement.

Can Technology Replace Human Judges?

In my opinion, technology cannot replace human judges in courts; it can only assist judges in providing judgments because law is not just a subject of rules and data but also of justice, equality, and fairness . Decisions require human morality, honesty, and qualities beyond what AI can provide. Judgments cannot be decided solely on past data, as law deals with human lives and values. In the contemporary world, AI has already begun speeding up tasks such as legal research , Managing case files , scheduling hearings and meetings , analyzing large documents , also works as a data analyst . Keeping in note that all of these are the supporting role which an AI provides  to the judge , to make their work easier and improve consistency.    The major problem with giving complete authority to an AI judge is that artificial intelligence is trained on past data, including previous judgments. If those judgments contain biases—such as social, class, or gender bias it is quite po...
