How to prosecute the sub-inspector, crpc 197 whom to apply?

You need no permission for any complaint against anybody with police authorikty he may be dgp or igp or even a constable. Yes you can file your complaint with his higher authority that is one option.

First file written complaint in same police station and then go up in hierarchy. If thst does not yield result then go to Magistrates court. Before filing any complaint collect all evidence specially thru RTI> 

Section 197 CrPC gives protection to the officers removable by the Central or State Government. A sub-Inspector is removable by the S.P or D.I.G who is his appointing authority and not by the State Government or Central Government.In police forces the minimum rank for whom sanction is required for prosecution is Dy.SP.  So there is no need to seek sanction for the prosecution of the S.I. By the way, for what offence you need to prosecute him? Please note that sanction is required for prosecution only and not for recording any F.I.R or investigation. There are many case laws in this support. However, as a measure of safety you can file an RTI application asking the information about the ranks in the police forces according to hierarchy as to which rank is removable by the State Government and which which is not.

i do agree with all the jurist but more i do agree with Rahman sir.

1) A sub-Inspector is removable by the S.P or D.I.G who is his appointing authority and not by the State Government or Central Government.

2) In police forces the minimum rank for whom sanction is required for prosecution is Dy.SP.  So there is no need to seek sanction for the prosecution of the S.I.

3) Please note that sanction is required for prosecution only and not for recording any F.I.R or investigation. There are many case laws in this support.

4) The ranks in the police forces according to hierarchy as to which rank is removable by the State Government and which which is not.

Sir also u said that (((((((((((police forces the minimum rank for whom sanction is required for prosecution is Dy.SP.  So there is no need to seek sanction for the prosecution of the S.I. )))))))))))))) but as per section 197 of the Crpc, 1973 the words are used as -------------------------- Any person who is a public servant. sir so can we say as per ur answer that S.I. is not a public servant & he also doesn't come under the words any persons.
