State Of U.P vs Mata Bhikha And Others on 9 March, 1994
In State of U.P. v. Mata Bhikh and Ors., (1994) 4SCC 95, Supreme Court, holds,
[6]. The object of this Section is to protect persons from being
vexatiously prosecuted upon inadequate materials or insufficient
grounds by person actuated by malice or illwill or frivolity of
disposition at the instance of private individuals for the offences
specified therein. The provisions of this Section, no doubt, are
mandatory and the Court has no jurisdiction to take cognizance of
any of the offences mentioned therein unless there is a complaint
in writing of 'the public servant concerned' as required by the
Section without which the trial under Section 188 of the Indian
Penal Code becomes void ab initio.
