- Applicability of Bnss in Private Complaint under Sec 156(3) - Main points and insights:
- The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, defines complaint as any oral or written allegation made to a Magistrate with a view to initiating action (01300042012).
- The BNSS emphasizes that complaints can lead to proceedings under Sections 155(2) and 156(3) of the CrPC, which relate to the Magistrate's powers to investigate and direct police to investigate (01300042012).
- A private complaint invoking Section 200 of CrPC can be registered, and subsequent proceedings may involve references under Section 156(3), which empowers Magistrates to direct police to investigate (INDKAR00000160299).
- There is a statutory bar under Section 195 of CrPC (now Sec. 215 BNSS) against taking cognizance of complaints for false evidence or perjury, which impacts the admissibility of private complaints in certain cases (INDMAD00000519180).
- Analysis and Conclusion:
- The BNSS explicitly recognizes private complaints as valid triggers for initiating investigations under Sections 200 and 156(3) of CrPC.
- Section 156(3) is applicable to private complaints, allowing Magistrates to direct police investigations based on allegations made in such complaints.
- However, the statutory bar under Section 195/215 restricts cognizance of complaints involving false evidence, necessitating caution in cases where false allegations are alleged.
- Overall, BNSS affirms the applicability of Section 156(3) in the context of private complaints, provided the allegations are genuine and do not fall under the statutory restrictions.
