Explanation:

- Option 1: Orders investigation under section 156(3) of Cr PC: Under this section, a magistrate can order police to investigate. This action does not amount to the court taking cognizance as it's a preliminary step.

- Option 2: Issues a search warrant for the purpose of investigation: A search warrant assists in investigation but does not mean the court has taken cognizance of the case.

- Option 3: Both (a) and (b): As explained, neither actions represent the court taking cognizance.

- Option 4: Neither (a) nor (b): Correct. Both actions are investigative, not indicative of cognizance.

Correct Answer: Option 4 - Neither (a) nor (b).
