False Police Complaints against me - Can I take any legal action?
04-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Somebody filed a FIR against me and others u/s 354D/506/509/34 based on a false complaint. I received police notice for joining investigation. However, I have not been charge sheeted in this case. nThe same person filed another false and frivolous police complaint against me and others regarding similar offences in other police station. FIR not registered by police and 156-3 also dismissed by Patiala House Court. nThe same thing happened again and I received calls from another police station to join investigation about another false complaint against me. Nothing found by police in this matter and police closed the complaint. 156-3 not filed by the complainant.So, can I take any legal action against this person like malicious prosecution etc. nPlease advise. Thanks.
even if 156 3 is dismissed, a private complaint u/s 200 crpc must have been filed.
after dismissal of 156-3, the complainant will pursue her private complaint in court.
though not much can be done at the stage of dismissal of a police complaint, you must keep a tab on the private complaint filed against you and others involved.
in case court takes cognizance, you will need to take certain steps to safeguard yourself from arrest.

Yes…you can always file a defamation suit against the girl who is continually harassing you by registering multiple complaints against you. If the police officials have failed to confirm any illegal act from your side then you can always file your complaint against the culprit. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

you can approach the Court under Section 482 of the CrPC for quashing of FIR if there are no merits...also plss take anticipatory bail first before going for anything as there is risk of arrest. I have done such cases quite a few times.
