A.Dear client,
In India, giving false evidence or making a false statement to the police or in a judicial proceeding is a punishable offense under the Indian Penal Code. The punishment for false evidence or false statement varies.

some important provisions are,
Section 193 of the Indian Penal Code provides for punishment for false evidence in a judicial proceeding. Whoever intentionally gives false evidence or fabricates false evidence shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine

Section 182 of the Indian Penal Code provides for punishment for giving false information with the intent to cause a public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person. Whoever gives false information shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both

Section 195A of the Indian Penal Code provides for punishment for threatening another person with injury to his person, reputation, or property, or to the person or reputation of anyone in whom that person is interested, with the intent to give false evidence. The punishment is imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, or with fine, or with both

In addition to criminal penalties, people who give false evidence or make false statements may face civil claims, such as defamation or perjury.

So, if you believe that the woman is misusing the law and filing false charges, you may use these provisions at your disposal, however, the burden of proof shall be on you.

A.Dear Client,
Your query requires more details to respond. However, in short, it may be informed that any misuse or miscarriage of law affecting one's fundamental rights guaranteed under the constitution or otherwise harms or causes injury anyway, needs to be brought to the notice before a competent Court of Law praying for justice.
