Hello members,
One old lady took 2 pensions, one is a family pension and the other is social welfare pension. She took social welfare pension by hiding facts about the family pension. An inquiry was conducted by govt officials and she confessed her crime. But in order to escape from charges she file a complaint u/s 156 (c) of crpc that her pension details like pension number are hacked and should be dealt with 66 c of IT act 2000-2008. But The govt is providing all details of pensioners on the govt website, if a person takes two pensions by cheating it can be available by searching their name. For more than a year there is no sign of charges against the person. Yesterday I got to know that FIR is lodged u/s 156 -3 crpc.
The information is readily available in the public domain and govt is providing it for citizens for free of cost. In this case, the complaint does not fall into IT act 66 C 2000- 2008. The complaint made u/s 156 -3 is to intercept with the investigation et in motion against the criminal and to waste time.
What is the course of action of the accused?
Under what section filing a false complaint to magistrate 156 -3 is false?
