Sir, In cognizable offence, if the complainant has file the criminal complaint under section 190 read with section 200 of Crpc, Whether he can lodged the FIR to the concerned Police station ?

Whether its essential that he should report the matter to the magistrate after lodging of FIR who has taken the cognizance of the offence??

After filing complaint in court he can not do so as opined by Raj Sir, But if FIR has been lodged and no action was taken he can file complaint in court.

If during the proceeding of complaint in court police send the charge sheet on the FIR previously registered. The complaint merge in State case under Section 210.
