Controller Instanciation

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I am new to CodeIgniter . But not new to OOPs . My doubt is very simple. We extend class from the ci_controller. ( for example myOwnController extends CI_Controller ) but we do not instanciate the class to make an object by using the normal 'new' key word. But still it is functioning.

I read about the super object.Is it because the super object CI does the instanciation for us ?
So the 'new' key word ( Like:- $myConObject = new myOwnController("myParam"); ) is not needed in CodeIgniter ? Does the super object singleton is taking care of all these ? What is the benefit of this ? Is this something specific for CodeIgniter alone or similar things are there in other platforms also ? As per my understanding, if a class is created its object has to be instaciated to use the method or property , unless the method or property is static. Will any body please give me a reply ?
