ਸੰਗਿਆਨ ਲੈਣ ਯੋਗ ਜੁਰਮ

A cognizable offence is one in which the police can register a case and arrest the accused.
https://pa.wikipedia.org/wiki/ਸੰਗਿਆਨ

A cognizable offence is a case where the Police can arrest without a warrant. All cognizable cases involve criminal offences. Murder, Robbery, Theft, Rioting, Counterfeiting etc. are some examples of cognizable offences.

Non-cognizable offences are those criminal infractions, which are relatively less serious. Examples of non-cognizable offences include Public Nuisance, Causing Simple Hurt, Assault, Mischief etc.

The Police cannot register criminal cases or cause arrests with regard to non-cognizable offences. In all such cases, the Police have to take permission from a magistrate for registration of a criminal case.

Cognizable offenses would be severe acts such as murder, rape, aggravated assault, kidnapping. These are the sorts of crimes that Police may act independently to arrest suspects immediately, and so they are authorized to affect the arrest and to mount a further investigation, autonomously of the Court.
