Most of your remedy will lie under the Indian Penal code Sec191 onwards.However most of these require you to go through the proceedings in an atrocity case till evidence are recorded and such false evidences can be used against the complainant for you to get justice against false complaints.Depending on extent of the falsification and section applicable ,you can move court leading to punishment ranging from 3 to 7 years
