Maintainability of case filed u/s 340 of ipc

I am a respondent in a property case in which I found so many documentary proofs against the petitioner which shows that the petitioner did forgeries and on behalf of the same filed a false case upon me. In that case somebody suggest me to file a case under section 340 IPC against the petitioner. 

So, please tell me the case u/s 340 IPC is filed in the same civil judge court or it will be maintainable in the criminal court of MM. I am so much puzzle because somebody says that the supreme court issued guidelines that now the cases u/s 340 IPC is maintainable only in the courts of MM. Help in in this matter and send me the ruilings for the same if possible..

Dear Manish

The complaint u/s 340 of Cr.P.C will be filed by the party before the same court where the false documents has filed and the court will send the same complaint to magistrate after inquiry and satisfaction that there is some material on record to prosecute the person who filed the forged documents before court.
