Present: Complainant in person.
ORDER
1. The present application has been filed by the complainant
Jagat Singh under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. seeking directions to the
police for registration of FIR against accused Col. V.K. Kapoor for
offences under Sections 67 IT Act and 166/167/170/506/120B/34
IPC.
2. It is alleged in the complaint that the accused, in connivance
with others, fraudulently lodged a grievance on the CPGRAMS
portal in the name of the complainant with criminal intent, although
the complainant never created any ID or filed any grievance on the
portal. According to the complainant, this amounts to cybercrime and
has been done to tarnish his image and to harass him due to his
pending departmental disputes.
3. An Action Taken Report (ATR) has been filed by PS Delhi
Cantt. It states that inquiry was conducted and the complainant was
asked to produce documentary evidence to substantiate his
allegations, but no such supporting material was submitted. During
inquiry, it was also revealed that the complainant is involved in
departmental proceedings arising from loan defaults and indiscipline,
and a penalty has already been imposed upon him. The police report
further notes that the CPGRAMS grievance may have been filed by
the complainant himself in relation to his pending service disputes,
-- 1 of 2 --
and no material has come on record to suggest that the accused had
committed any cybercrime or forged any complaint in the
complainant’s name. On the contrary, the accused, during inquiry,
denied the allegations and stated that he would cooperate with the
court proceedings.
4. Having considered the material on record and the ATR, I am of
the opinion that no cognizable offence is made out against the
accused persons so as to warrant registration of FIR. The allegations
made by the complainant appear to be arising out of service disputes
with his department and are primarily of a civil/departmental nature.
The complaint is entirely based on assumptions and suspicions
without any cogent evidence to show that the accused created any
false grievance on CPGRAMS.
5. At this stage, it is settled law that the power under Section
156(3) Cr.P.C. is to be exercised cautiously and only when the
complaint discloses the commission of a cognizable offence
requiring police investigation. Mere bald allegations without
supporting material are insufficient for directing registration of FIR.
6. In view of the above, the application of the complainant under
Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. is dismissed. The complainant, however, is at
liberty to lead his own evidence under Section 200 Cr.P.C., if he so
desires.
Put up for PSE on 19.03.2026.
