As regards offences referred to in article 370(1), the prosecution shall lie with the injured party or with the persons mentioned in article 542 on behalf of such party, where proceedings cannot be instituted except on the complaint of the injured party:

Provided that if the offence in respect of which no prosecution may be instituted except on the complaint of the injured party, is aggravated by public violence or is accompanied with any other offence affecting public order, or if, in the absence of any such circumstances, the injured party shall fail to institute proceedings and shall not have expressly waived the right to prosecute within four days from the commission of the offence, it shall be lawful for the Executive Police to institute ex officio proceedings in respect of the offence.
