A forgery completed before the document reaches court is not covered merely because the document is later filed in proceedings, so private complaint remains maintainable. The provision was construed narrowly in light of Section 195 and Section 340 to protect judicial proceedings without unfairly extinguishing the aggrieved person's remedy. en-us Fri, 11 Mar 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 21:28:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171249 Section 195(1)(b)(ii) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 bars cognizance only for offences committed in respect of a document while it is in court custody or after it has been produced or given in evidence.
