With out 498a and cognizable offense won't police make any fir
If there is no cognizable offense (like 498A or others), the police are generally not obligated to register an FIR. However, they can:

- Seek permission from a magistrate to investigate.
- Advise civil remedies if the issue doesn’t involve criminal offenses.
