Threatening to file false rape case

Dear Client,
To address or resolve a false complaint or false criminal proceeding filed against you, you can seek its quashing through a petition before the High Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973(now Sec.528 of BNSS).. The Sec.482 Cr. PC empowers the High Court to dismiss false complaints/criminal proceedings initiated pursuant to that complaint before the trial Court against a person. It is essential to prove to the court that the complaint or criminal suit was lodged with malicious intent to cause harm or inconvenience and is devoid of truth. The burden of proof rests on the petitioner. An application for the quashing of an FIR or criminal proceedings can also be filed before the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India through a Criminal Miscellaneous Writ Petition invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction of the Court to quash an FIR or criminal proceedings. It has now become a cumbersome and tiresome exercise to prove any complaint of harassment against women who are now well-protected by the laws of the land. If required, hire an experienced Advocate to navigate the issues in the right way.
