Section 197 CrPC protects public servants from being prosecuted withour sanction from Govt, whereas section 166,167,217,218 IPC talks for punishments for public servants acting against directions of law.
My query is a) are provision under CrPC & IPC contradicting, Is there any judgement of Supreme Court on this issue?
B) can police persons be tried by any citizen u/s 166,167,217,218 etc without obtaining sanctions from Govt.
c) If sanction is neccessary, how a citizen can obtain
d) can arbitrators be tried similarly as IPC describes them as "Public Servant"
