An individual cannot file a complaint. Only the judicial officer(the court in which it is committed) can initiate the proceedings.

It is not a matter of Police authority,Court may take cognizance u/sec.198 Cr.P.C. and may be referred to Judicial Magistrate Court.

198 Cr.P.C deals with complaint of marriage laws not civil laws. Section 340 Cr.P.C is the correct procedure.
