<h1>Section 215: Initiating Proceedings for Contempt, Public Justice Offences Requires Written Complaint from Authorized Officials</h1> Section 215 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, outlines the conditions for initiating proceedings related to contempt of lawful authority, offences against public justice, and offences involving documents used in evidence. It specifies that courts cannot take cognizance of certain offences without a written complaint from the concerned public servant or an authorized subordinate. Additionally, offences committed in court proceedings require a complaint from the court or an authorized officer. Complaints can be withdrawn by an authorized authority unless the trial has concluded. The section defines 'Court' and establishes the hierarchy of subordinate courts for appeals.
