This query is : Resolved
Whether individual can file complaint for the offences given in chapter 11 of IPC as perjury and Sec 211, or only Investigating officer or police can initiate proceeding. Plz suggest if there is clear provision under Cr.P.C.
I have read about the offence of 182 IPC in commentary, that only I.O. can initiate the proceeding against the reporter and not the accused of earliar suit who have been acquitted. But I could'nt find the provision in Cr.P.C.

Mr. There is a provision under the code how the proceedings will be initiated it is described under section 340 of the Criminal Procedure code where the complaint is to be filed by the complainant to the court and there after the court will initiate the proceedings. Pl. go through the aforesaid provision and proceed further.

349 Cr. PC is the appropriate section.
