What are the consequences if FIR is filed against me.
06-Dec-2023 (In Criminal Law)
More than 2 years ago i was in business with a guy whom i met through a common friend. He invited me in his startup company as a employee as well as a profit sharing partner on the basis of the amount of business i bring to him. He also advised me bringing my colleague with me from the previous company. After a month in business, payment dispute started to erupt between everyone. On one day my colleagues and i decided to take things in our hand and took whatever valuable things we could from the company as per our money due. No paper work was involved as it was a stratup and only my address was known to the guy as I lived nearby. When the guy came to know of the incident he filed an FIR against us and told us to return the item we took, i returned the valuables i had but my colleagues didn't. But he still thought that i am involved with others and pushed the police to do something about it. So, I was served a NOTICE which stated like this: To my name and address sub:
If FIR filled against you and if all allegations are true than you may sentenced to jail .they will institute suit against you .you didn't write from whom do you serve notice wether from their lawyer or court or police

What is time limit for FIR?
The FIR can be filed at any time. It should be filed as soon as possible. Unjustified delays in filing FIR have been deemed fatal for prosecution cases by the Supreme Court and High Courts.
Can FIR be stopped once filed?
The officer in charge of a police station cannot cancel a FIR. The SHO does not have the power to cancel a FIR. The investigation may reveal that there was no crime committed. He must forward the police report to U/S after completing his investigation.
Can we file FIR after one year?
1. You can file a FIR at your nearest police station. Both matters will be investigated separately. 2. You have two years to file a complaint from the date the action was brought.
What is the rule of FIR?
Anyone who has knowledge of the commission or alleged commission of an offence that is cognizable can file a FIR. The victim does not have to file an FIR. An officer of the police who becomes aware of a cognizable crime can file an FIR.
I will need some more information. However based on what you have said, as far as consequences of FIR are concerned, it depends on the sections, the police also has the power to arrest you.
It will be advised that you seek some kind of protective order from the Court.

The issue is serious. You must file an Application seeking Anticipatory Bail. As per their version you have committed theft, however since you were a partner in that startup therefore those things equally belonged to you therefore the same would not amount to theft.
