Definition :

Expressly, the word 'expressly' which is employed in s. 193 denoting those exceptions is indicative of the legislative mandate that a Court of Session can depart from the interdict contained in the section only if it is provided differently in clear and unambiguous terms. In other words, unless it is positively and specifically provided differently no Court of Session can take cognizance of any offence directly, without the case being committed to it by a Magistrate, Moly v. State of Karnataka, (2004) 4 SCC 584 (588): AIR 2004 SC 1890; see also (2004) 1 SCC 215 (Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, s. 193).
