Where have you mentioned in the previous query that this happened one year back, advise was given to you thinking that it is a recent incident. Anyways, since it has been one year, you can not lodge a complaint now because of the delay. However, if you have some medical evidence with you then you may go and file a complaint in the police station.

Sir thank you for you kind ratings, if he has beaten you a year ago then the limitation act will apply as under the CRPC as for beating the punishment is of one year so the limitation shall apply and you cannot take any action.

For beating the section applicable is 323 IPC Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code

323. Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt.—Whoever, except in the case provided for by section 334, voluntarily causes hurt, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.

Section 468 – Bar to taking cognizance after lapse of the period of limitation

Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Code, no Court, shall take cognizance of an offence of the category specified in Sub-Section (2), after the expiry of the period of limitation.

The period of limitation shall be-

six months, if the offence is punishable with fine only;

one year, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year;

three years, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term exceeding one year but not exceeding three years.

For the purposes of this section, the period of limitation, in relation to offences which may be tried together, shall be determined with reference to the offence which is punishable with the more severe punishment or, as the case may be, the most severe punishment.

Approach the Police and narrate your ordeal to them and request them to lodge a FIR. It is better you take a written compliant to them wherein you should narrate all that happened with you.

Dear Sir,

It depends upon grievousness of injury you sustain. You must also explain the delay for not lodging complaint. Then you must support your injuries if grievous in nature by medical records. If you can satisfy all above then you can file complaint before police, if refused then approach Magistrate under section 200 Cr.P.C. Section 468 deals with limitation to lodge complaint.

Limitation for filing a complaint varies according to nature of offence if you have received simple hurt then you should have lodged complaint immediately. If you received grevious injury you can file at later stage. In your complaint you need to mention cause for delay in lodging complaint with police

But they beaten me 1 years ago but because of no legal help I didn't filed a case

If they have beaten you one year ago, what were you doing so fr, the police may not entertain any complaint in this regard at this belated stage especially when there is no evidence for this incident.
