Iqbal Singh Narang & Ors Vs Veeran Narang

Supreme Court of India on 03.12.11 -though the Rent Controller discharges quasi- judicial functions, he is not a Court, as understood in the conventional sense and he cannot, therefore, make a complaint under Section 340 Cr.P.C. Consequently, as held by the High Court, a complaint could be made by a private party in the proceedings.
