Explanation:

- Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, "cognizance" refers to a court taking notice of an offence, not specific persons like accused, witnesses, or offenders.

- When a Magistrate or court takes cognizance, they do so regarding the commission of an offence, which begins legal proceedings.

- They do not take cognizance of the accused, witnesses, or offenders as persons, but rather of the fact that an offence appears to have been committed.

- Therefore, only Statement I is correct in this context.

Option: 1 - Only I is the correct answer.
