To initiate a criminal action against a public servant who somehow left some public records of his misdemeanour available and is undergoing disciplinary action on the same matter, the proper remedy available to you is either to file a police complaint or to initiate a private complaint in the criminal court for the same purpose.

If the forgery has happened in the court during its proceedings, the court will have to take action on him by filing a complaint in the magistrate court and no other person can do anything.

A Writ Court should not accept any writ petition on a matter you have other remedies, except when some public exigencies bind the court to take it up.

Writ is an extra ordinary remedy of great value to be used sparingly.

Public servant is the Complainant n filed FIR in 2016. But police dropped FIR in 2019 due to non coop Of complainant. So I made representation to the complainant. Then he filed protest petition. Rest as above

The facts posted are less than convincing. In a private complaint, how come a stranger, that too anonymous, has any concern?
