      Section 190 CRPC says that Magistrate can take cognizance on police report. What is police report? Is it the FIR when police send copy of FIR to Magistrate after registering it? Does Magistrate take cognizance of FIR sent by police?

      The police report mentioned in Section 190 Cr.P.C. does not refer to the FIR registered under Section 154 of Cr.P.C.

      The police report mentioned in Section 190 Cr.P.C. refers to a charge sheet submitted by police under Section 173 of Cr.P.C. on completion of the investigation in FIR.
