Private complaints are governed by Chapter XVI of the CrPC; under section 200 the court examines the complainant on oath and may then hold an inquiry or summon the accused.
Istighasa cases have their own sequence of dates — preliminary evidence, summoning, framing of charge and trial — which a diary should track separately from police cases.
In Munshi
When you say “istighasa” in a voice note, Munshi stores it as private complaint so search and printed cause lists stay consistent.
