If any private complaint has been filed against you then magistrate would direct police to investigate and submit report 

2) you would be issued notice by police to record your statement 

3) PCC would mention pending complaint against you 

1. No.

The police has nothing to do with the private complaint.

2. If at all there's a private complaint filed against you, then you will be served with a notice to your address.

If you are not available in that address then the case may not proceed.

3. Usually the court will not entertain a private criminal complaint based on fictitious or vague information.

It will summon the respondent, hear him and then if the offense is cognizable, the court may take the complaint on its file.

The police could not register all of the complaints.

The police have the authority to register F.I.R.s under Section 154 of the Cr.P.C. in cases of cognizable offenses. The investigation will be conducted based on the complaint given, without court approval. If such an offence is committed, the police can also arrest the offender without a warrant.

In non-cognizable offences, the police cannot register the F.I.R. or conduct an investigation without a court order; they also can't arrest the accused without a warrant from the court. In such non-cognizable cases, the complainant has to file a complaint directly with the court and such complaint is generally called “private complaint”.

 Sometimes, even in cases of cognizable offenses, the police may refuse to process the FIR based on one or another reason. In such a situation, the complainant may also file the complaint with the court, a process known as "private complaint". In other words, a "private complaint" is one that is directly filed by the complainant with the court. The Magistrate can take cognizance of such a private complaint under Section 190(1)(a) of the Cr.P.C., and the magistrate would direct police to investigate and submit a report .

If a complaint is filed, you will receive a summons from the court

1.If a private complaint has been filed against you, Summons will be issued in your name to enable you to contest the complaint case.   PCC has no relevance in the given circumstances.

2. On receipt of the Summons, you shall have to contest the case fittingly.

3. It depends on the evidence produced by the Applicant establishing that there has been a religious hate speech. In any case, you shall get ample chance to defend yourself in the said case.     

Dear Sir

1. The police do not play any role in private complaints, so there is no question of a PCC.

2. In case  a private complaint has been filed against you, you would be alerted by the court summons as you are entitled to the right to contest against it.

3. It would depend on the evidence or documents they have to back up the complaint.

Thank you

1. Yes if it's reached court. 

2. Already answered. 

3. It's possible

1. If a person file private compliant before the magistrate , then without enquiry of the compliant FIR cannot be lodged.

- Further if FIR lodged then police is bond to inform the accused in the case 

- Further, only a private compliant to the police having no value until there is investigation report against the person , and if cannot effect the police clearance certificate. 

2. Police is bond to inform you , or when you will apply for certificate then police can inform for the same. 

You can apply for anticipatory bail from sessions court for hate speech 

- You can file an anticipatory bail application before the session court for getting bail and to come to India without any fear . 

- If, there will be no FIR lodged against you, then court will grant to protection that if any compliant has been filed then the I.O. cannot arrest

Dear Sir,

1. You can reach the concerned High Court in order to get an anticipatory bail for an offence under section 295 A IPC

Thank You!

Without knowing that a FIR has been registered against you, it may not be possible to get enlarged on bail.

You may first confirm if there is any FIR pending against your name.

Mere pending FIR may not restrict your travel to India.

1. If a FIR has been registered against you u/s 295A of IPC, then an Anticipatory Bail can be availed from the indian Court.

2. However, Indian Penal Code is applicable on Indian citizens for their acts caused in India and not abroad.

A private complaint can also be detected by the police. An order passed by the magistrate is also taken note of by the police.

An anticipatory bail application can be filed and order taken after you come to India.

Yes you can get the same through court.
