No Modification in Charge at the Stage of Cognizance - The prevailing legal consensus is that charges should not be modified during the cognizance stage. The Magistrate's role is primarily to take cognizance based on the police report or complaint, and charge modifications are generally reserved for the trial stage.

Proper Stage for Charge Modification - Changes to charges, such as addition or subtraction, are typically made after investigation and upon submission of the charge sheet.

-
Jurisdiction of Magistrate and Charge Inclusion - A Chief Judicial Magistrate cannot include or exclude sections in a charge sheet during the cognizance process.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The consistent legal position across the sources indicates that charges should not be modified at the stage of cognizance.

Modifying charges during or before cognizance can lead to procedural irregularities and is generally deemed illegal or improper.
