Cognizance of cases by Special Court

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Code or in any other law for the time being in force, a Special Court may take cognizance of an offence, without the accused being committed to it for trial, upon receiving a complaint of facts which constitute such offence, or upon a police report of such facts. (2) Where the Special Court is of the opinion that the case is not triable by it, it may, after recording its reasons, transfer the case to the court competent to try such offence. Special Court shall take cognizance of and try such cases as are instituted before it or transferred to it under Section 10.
