Hello Sir,

First appearance is mandatory. You can file quash petition before the Hon'ble High Court, if the grounds alleged against you are false the Court look into the matter and pass orders in your favour.

File a Quash petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C in High Court to quash the charges if the charges are false, then you have a bright chance of charges might get quashed but you need strong ground beyond reasonable doubt to prove your innocence or you can file Discharge Petition in Trial Court.

Hope my answer will satisfies your query. Good luck.
