Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Hello. My question is in the Magistrate court where my case of 138 Nagotiable instruments act case is going on if the complainant has a criminal record of cheating and forgery and I tell the judge that my cheque is forged does the Magistrate have power to direct Police Inquiry and if satisfied with police report does he have power to direct to file FIR?Thanks

you may lead evidence in the case that the cheque is forged and the court may give an adverse finding in the judgment. however, you may move a separate complaint of forgery and cheating against the complainant if you have sufficient proofs.
