Res Experts..
I filed a complaint before MM regarding a fake report concluded by sexual harassment committee.. Means..there was no report but culprits framed a forged report exonerating Themselves....U/s 420 IPC..Now the MM is arguing that, the case is one of sexual harassment and only the victim can file such complaint, while my allegation is regarding forgery for the purpose of cheating.. The case is adjourned rt now and put up for orders.. While as per law, MM ought to take cognizance and proceed with pre summoning evidence or could send the complaint to police u/s 156(3)..plz guid me
