What should I do about false oral allegations at work?

I am a government servant. My superior (controlling officer) has made an oral complaint against me to the administrative wing of the Department. All the allegations are false and irrelevant, and I have digital evidence to prove my innocence. The Department has forwarded a note to the concerned section, mentioning the oral allegations, and is asking for a written explanation. However, no formal communication has been made to me yet. In these circumstances, what legal action should I take? The allegations have seriously affected my dignity and reputation in the office.

You can submit a written explanation voluntarily with digital evidence to defend yourself. Even if no official notice is issued, giving your side in writing helps protect your reputation. Also, keep records of all communication. If the allegations are false and damaging, you can consider filing a formal complaint or defamation notice later.
