What to do i filled a false case against my friend


26-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi I lodged a complaint in 2014 against my friend regarding harrasing though it was not true as my parents forced me to do so. But no action was taken against him fortunately, I gave a written complaint and I got a photostat copy of my complaint from the PS. My friends brother is in defence he is being promoted to some other defence agency of india for which his whole family background will be check. As no action was taken by the police not even a call was done by them to my friend is it going to reflect as criminal record and if yes, so please provide me a solution to get out of it as I don't have even the photostat of that complaint

Yes it can be a problem as in defence they check it very thoroughly . You need to take back your complaint from the police station to avoid future problems . It may be a hindrance for him if you don’t take any action.

You have only given written complaint to the PS and no action has been taken by the police till today so there is no need to worry as there was not any FIR so do not worry. This is not incline in the criminal record but if you have any doubt then you can simply write a application to the concern police station regarding withdrawal of your previous complaint.

Offence under Section 354 of the IPC, which defines the offence of “Assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty” is a non-bailable offence and it is a cognizable offence. Further, this offence is a non-compoundable offence. In the case of cognizable offence, if the Police did not register the Complaint as an FIR and provided you a copy of it, then all likelihood there should not be a problem and it should not show on your friend's record.
Incase the FIR is registered and the chargesheet has not been filed the anytime before chargesheet is filed you can withdraw complaint by writing a letter to the Station head of the police station where FIR is lodged. If the police refuse to withdraw complaint, you can ask accused to move to get complaint quashed and give evidence to judge stating that you wish to withdraw your complaint.
