About this template
What is this template?
This is a private criminal complaint addressed to a Judicial Magistrate First Class in India. It is not a First Information Report (FIR) filed with the police; it is a direct petition to the court to take cognizance of offences involving multiple accused acting with common intention. The document specifically includes a verification section where the complainant must state the facts are true on solemn affirmation.
When should you use it?
Use this filing when the police have not acted on a report of physical hurt or when you wish to pursue a private prosecution for offences under Sections 323 and 504 IPC. If the grievance is purely civil or involves a property dispute without physical assault, use a Civil Suit Plaint instead.
Who it's for
- a resident of Pune seeking to initiate criminal proceedings against relatives
- an individual reporting an assault that occurred near Khadki Station
- a complainant alleging physical torture and mental harassment by multiple accused persons
