In a criminal case xerox copy of the FIR filed in a court was obtained unlawfully bearing the initial and seal of the magistrate with date. One govt. department without filing copy application obtained it, attested as true copy with sign and seal of office not having certified copy with it, which is an offense under IPC 107,120(A), 420, 468, etc. Several complaints were sent to the concerned court and high court, asked information under RTI Act, but all became futile. On petition was given to the District Judge in open court on 30 April, 2009, no action was taken. Information regarding action taken was asked under RTI Act but no reply was received.
Is there any means for action including private complaint against the govt. officer who signed and issued attested true copy with his official designation and who has no power and jurisdiction to do so?

You should have to obtain permission from competent authority before filing a criminal case against Govt. official and after obtaining such permission, you may file a criminal complaint under section 200 cr. P. c. against him.
