If you believe that the police are not taking action, you can file a private complaint in a magistrate court. The complaint should include details of the incident, the evidence, and the name and address of the accused.

Summons

  1. Summons: The magistrate will issue summons to the accused to appear before the court on a specified date.
  2. Trial: During the trial, evidence is presented by both the prosecution and the defense. The court will hear arguments from both sides and will make a decision based on the evidence and the law.
  3. Verdict: After the trial, the court will deliver its verdict, which may be a conviction or an acquittal. If the accused is convicted, the court will determine the appropriate punishment.

Conclusion

Note that the process of filing a case under the IPC can vary depending on the specific crime and the location. It is important to note that the exact process for filing a case under the IPC may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the court in which it is filed.
