A complaint can relate to either a cognizable or non-cognizable offence. Cognizable offences are those where a police officer can make an arrest without a warrant and start an investigation with or without the permission of a court. Non-cognizable offences require a court's permission to initiate an investigation. Therefore, complaints can be related to both types of offences.
