A COMPLAINT U/SS 500 & 506 R/W SEC. 34 OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE

The complainant above-named submits this complaint, praying to state as follows:

1. That the complainant has been in service of the Technical Education Department since the last twenty-five years, and is, at present, working as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Government Polytechnic, Pune, for the last ten years.

2. That the accused No. 1, who is the first wife of the accused No. 2, is also in the service of the said Technical Education Department and is now working as a Lecturer in Physics, while the accused No. 2 is working as an Administrative Officer at the Sassoon General Hospitals, Pune.

3. That as a colleague of this complainant at the said institute, the accused No. 1 also used to visit the residence of the complainant and his family occasionally and thereby developed domestic intimacy with them.

4. That subsequently, when the accused No. 2 contracted a second marriage with one, Miss Poonam, who is also working at the Sassoon General Hospitals, Pune, as a Staff Nurse, the accused No. 1 started to narrate to this complainant and other colleagues in their institute the new stories and the indifferences then being developed between both the accused, and also unnecessarily expected the complainant to take interest in the same and to do something on her behalf and in her favour, but taking into consideration the very nature of such family affairs, the complainant refused to interfere with the same and paid no heed to what the accused No. 1 was then saying to him, which rightly or wrongly offended the accused No. 1, and this has resulted into difference of opinions for no fault on the part of the complainant.

5. That as a result of such an indifferent behaviour on the part of the accused No. 1, she made a false complaint to the Principal of the institute and also to the police, alleging that the complainant teased her, and when there was an enquiry made in the matter, it was found that there was no substance in the said complaint, and similar were the findings of the police investigation also.

About this template

What is this template?

This is a formal criminal petition filed before a Judicial Magistrate First Class in India. It contains a specific verification section where the complainant affirms the truth of the allegations and includes a prayer for the accused to be charged and tried. It is not a civil suit for damages or a police FIR.

When should you use it?

Use this when initiating a private criminal complaint in court after police investigation has concluded or is insufficient. The nearest alternative is a civil defamation suit for monetary compensation rather than criminal punishment.

Who it's for

  • an individual in Pune filing a criminal complaint for defamation and threatening behavior
  • a person alleging common intention between two accused parties under Section 34 IPC
  • a complainant reporting anonymous intimidating letters received over a six-month period
