False Sexual Harassment case on my father working in psu


13-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My father in his govt office has served 20years but one female Intern lodged complaint against him under SH based on a handshake 5 months ago. She thought she would fail in exams n just before her results she lodged complaint. My father is law abiding and never did such thing. The ICC in his Dept declared him innocent 15days ago but now she Lodged FIR. Her brother is in police. My father already got anticipatory bail from court knowing her intentions. Now what should we do after FIR? Does a handshake proves him guilty for which she came forward and not my father. Any lawyer who won such case?

It is often seen that Ladies are taking undue advantage of the protection given to them by Law. a handshake, does not itself means that it has outraged modesty of a woman. outraging modesty is defined in the Indian Penal Code in section 354. so far she has filed FIR then the police machinery will investigate the matter. thereafter, they shall file charge sheet or if they don't find any substance in the complaint then they ( the Police) shall file report U. Sec. 169 of Cr. P. C.
In case if the charge sheet is filed, you have to face the trial.

Trial would b conducted after filing of chargesheet sheet.

You have not mentioned sections and exact allegations....Mere handshaking is incomplete.

Kindly send detailed query. Also you have not mentioned why intern had to interact with your father
