s. 340 CrPC is not applicable in this case as alleged documents were not in possesion of the court.

Mr. Raj,In this matter sec 340 Cr.P.c. is not applicable as said Mr.Tripathi.If you believe that on the basis of some forged document charges were leveled against the employee.The said employee has the right to file defamation suit against the said person in the criminal court and can claim damages also in the civil court.

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE. PLEASE REFER TO THE DECISION OF SUPREME COURT OF INDIA IN THE CASE OF N NATARAJAN V/S B.K.SUBBARAO
AIR(541). IN WHICH IT IS QUOTED THAT EVEN A STRANGER CAN PUT THE LEGAL MACHINERY INTO MOTION BY VIRTUE OF THE CR PC 340.HERE I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT THE DOCUMENTS WERE PRODUCED BEFORE THE ENQUIRY AUTHORITY (WHICH WORKS AS QUASI JUDICIAL).PLEASE ADVISE IN THE LIGHT OF THIS.

Mr.Raj inquiry authority may work as quasi judicial but his power is limited. The authority has no power under Cr.P.C.
