The bar was held to apply to Section 471 of the Indian Penal Code on that basis. By contrast, a forgery under Section 467 of the Indian Penal Code is not barred where the forgery was completed before the accused became a party to the proceeding, since the restriction applies only to offences committed by a party in that character. The appeal therefore succeeded only in part. en-us Fri, 07 May 1971 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 21 Apr 2021 18:08:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294576 Section 195(1)(c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure bars cognizance on a private complaint for using a forged document as genuine in court proceedings, because that offence is connected with the proceeding and requires a court complaint.
