This query is : Resolved
A complaint was filed by RWA president against my company CEO’s wife who is working in a central government hospital and an office memo was issued by the hospital on basis of the complaint.
Upon query it was understood that the complaint was signed by 5 office bearers of RWA and found that three of the member’s signatures were forged by the President. Hence a complaint was filed in Police Station with supporting documents of victims whose signatures were forged.
Police took the statements of three witnesses whose signatures were forged. Our complaint is still pending since 22nd Feb 2014 and they hesitate to file the FIR. Please inform what next, can we go to jurisdiction?

In a recent judgment, Hon'ble 5 Judges Bench of SC, titled as Lalita Kumari v/s Govt. of UP, has held that registration of FIR, in cases where the offence reported is cognizable in nature, is mandatory.
for further appropriate action, visit some local lawyer and move appropriate petition to ensure that FIR is registered.dc

Date seem to be mentioned wrongly as 22nd Feb 2014, it has not come yet.
If the police is not registering FIR take help of court.
Probably police may lodge FIR for forge signatures. It would be in line with recent incident while FIR was not lodged even when asked by a minister but against the minister FIR was registered immediately in Delhi.
In the biggest loot (robbery) case of Delhi the culprits robbed the victim, one robber was caught by police with some cash and he was robbed by the police (another State) and was set free.
We have to live with the system, let us have hope from judiciary in such an environment.
