Complaint-triggered cognizance limits prosecutions to complaints by public servants or the relevant judicial forum, with supervisory withdrawal power. Courts may take cognizance of specified offences against public justice and document-related offences only on a written complaint by the public servant concerned, an administratively subordinate public servant, or an authorised public servant; offences in or relating to judicial proceedings or documents in evidence require a written complaint by the relevant Court or an authorised officer or by a subordinate Court. A complaint by a public servant may be withdrawn by an administrative superior or the authorising officer, and upon receipt of the withdrawal the Court must cease proceedings unless the trial in the Court of first instance is concluded.
