If someone is repeatedly filing false FIRs against you, you can take legal steps for protection. First, you may approach the High Court of India to file a petition to quash the false FIR under Section 528 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. If the allegations are proven false, you can also file a complaint for giving false information and defamation under Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. As a government employee, keep all records and evidence to protect your service record and reputation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
