Hello,

If an FIR is registered against you and you are arrested by police for a cognizable offence, secure bail and wait for the police to submit charge sheet in the concerned magistrate court and thereafter appear in the court during the trial and fight the case on merits. Also you have a chance of quashing the charge sheet from the high court as you say a false case is registered against you. In addition to this, you may also pray for discharge in the trial court before charges are framed so that the court may discharge you and set you free from all the charges.
