https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196377 A private complaint alleging offences of false statement or false charge in relation to court proceedings is barred where sections 195 and 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure apply. Such offences cannot be initiated by a private complainant; prosecution must be set in motion by the court concerned or a lawful superior court through the statutory procedure. The High Court is not confined to the Magistrate's dismissal and may, in an appropriate case, exercise its supervisory jurisdiction to consider action under the statutory scheme where the interests of justice so require. The core principle is that the bar on private cognizance protects the administration of justice, while preserving limited court-driven initiation. en-us Mon, 20 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 21:25:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196377 A private complaint alleging offences of false statement or false charge in relation to court proceedings is barred where sections 195 and 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure apply.
