Criminal proceedings through attorney are not competent / legal.

Criminal proceedings in the Court cannot be initiated through attorney since the „Criminal administration of justice‟ recognizes only those as a witness or complainant who either have seen, heard or at least perceived any fact towards the offence hence an „attorney‟, being not speaking of his own knowledge, would not fall within the meaning of „witness/complainant‟. Thus an attorney cannot legally, under such status of attorney, file the FIR or a criminal complaint. There is no concept / provision of initiating proceedings or recording evidence through attorney in the criminal law.
