Mishnah Berurah, Siman 131, S"K 20: "And behold, all this applies only in the house of the mourner where Tachanun is not said to avoid intensifying the attribute of judgment, but when the mourner prays in the synagogue or another house, the congregation does not follow him and says Tachanun, but the mourner himself should not say it."
