The document discusses the processes of investigation and trial of offences in India. It explains that the police register an FIR and conduct investigations upon receiving information about a cognizable offence. The police then files a police report with the statements and evidence collected before the local magistrate. The magistrate can then take cognizance of the case and either discharge the accused or frame charges and set a date to begin the trial and examination of prosecution and defense witnesses. After considering all evidence presented, the magistrate will then deliver a verdict of acquittal or conviction and determine the sentence if the accused is found guilty.
