Action drop usually refers to FIR closed for lack of evidence. The police will file a charge sheet in the court saying there is no evidence to prosecute the accused and the court upon taking cognizance will close the same. Unless the de facto complainant files a protest petition. However if you must get the exact details share the copy of FIR.

What is mean by action dropped in CSR status?

The police will not file a chargesheet and cancel the FIR if they have taken action. The police will submit to the court the reasons why the FIR should be cancelled and ask for permission from the court to do so. 30-Mar-2017

Can a FIR be dropped?

Once a FIR is filed, it cannot be withdrawn. The Police (Law Enforcement), who have the power to dispose of a complaint, can convert it into a charge sheet or issue a "B" report. A court can also dismiss it.

Hello,

This means due to lack of evidence from the complainant's side, the police is not proceeding with the case any further and they are not taking any action against you. Soon, the police may file closure report in the court and based on that, the charges against you will be dropped. Feel free to contact me if you need further clarification.
