Dear Rajeev, I just want to know by this order what will be the next action of the complainent. Mean 1. Will he file new case?  2. Will the old case be restored? or 3. What will his next step??

The complainant will file a petition u/s 340 Cr.P.C. requesting that a offence has been committed, i.e. some false or fabricated evidence or documents has been introduced  in relation to a proceeding in that court and court if deems fit, shall make a complaint in this regard. 

Section 340 consists of four Sub-sections of which only the first sub-section is relevant . Hence the said sub-section is extracted below:

"When upon an application made to it in this behalf or otherwise, any court is of opinion that it is expedient in the interest of justice that n inquiry should be made into any offence referred to in Clause (b) of Sub-section (1) of Section 195, which appears to have been committed in or in relation to a proceeding in that Court or,
as the case may be, in respect of a document produced or given in evidence in a proceeding in that Court, such Court may, after such preliminary inquiry, if any, as it thinks necessary,-
(a) record a finding to that effect;
(b) make a complaint thereof in writing;
(c) send it to a Magistrate of the first class having jurisdiction;
(d) take sufficient security for the appearance of the accused before such Magistrate, or if the alleged offence is non-bailable and the Court thinks it necessary so to do, send the accused in custody to such
Magistrate; and

(e) bind over any person to appear and given evidence before such Magistrate."

Thanx Sanjeev,

                          It means the complainent will file a new criminal case in lower court. Will this case be private or State???????

Private case and hence not taken seriously.

Be patient and see if any fresh summons are issued to you.

Hello. In case of an offence relating to a criminal court proceeding I'll have to file a separate miscellaneous criminal proceeding under sec.340? Any case law available. I could only find a case law relating to miscellaneous proceeding in a civil court.
