In a Summons case on Police Report which is currently in a Trial court, one of the witnesses who is a Police personnel has been observed to be blatantly lying under oath probably as coached by the Public Prosecutor (PP). This PP has also been observed to helping identify the accused by turning his head and nodding in the direction of the accused. The accused's lawyer has drawn the attention of the judge to this by stating that PP is trying to "lead" the witness, but it is unknown what the judge has noted.
In addition the main complainant who is also a police SI has filled the charge sheet filled with lies and has never since shown up in court. Consequently his evidence has been expunged. All these lies written by main complainant, police witnesses (both as written in charge sheet and as stated in court under oath), can be easily proved, and I intend to start doing this from the next court date when it is my turn to cross examine this only witness who has appeared upto now after 10 long years.
Now my questions are:
1. How can I put a reverse case on the police for stating all these lies i.e. of criminal conspiracy etc? Can I do these in the present case itself or whether I have to file a new case?
2. Additionally as I intend to submit a discharge/acquital petition under Sec 258 either on next date or thereafter for non appearance of complainant, so ideally a reverse case against these police personnel should be so instituted, so that it does not prolong my status as accused.
Therefore kindly advice me about the best way to approach this matter, and your help will be much appreciated. My intention is not to let these police personnel get by too easily by harassing others with a bag of lies. If and only if people start counteracting them, then only will they hesitate in their actions in the future.
