i am a doctor working in government service, of andhra pradesh. a case has been falsely filed against me on SC & ST atrocities act & women harassment act
i here by tell you the details of the issue happened
on 22nd of june 2010 District Medical & Health Officer has visited the primary health centre i am working, and took me along with him to one Sub centre ( a sub unit of the PHC ) for surprise visit of the sub centre.
in the process of inspection he found several irregularities and so instructed her to get verified & certified by me , all her records on the next day.
Next day she arrived to PHC at around 10:00 AM and then the process of verification was started by 3 supervisors , of which 2 were females and one was male.
during the process of verification dissatisfaction was expressed regarding poor maintainance.soon after this i reached the room of verification , and there i too expressed my dissatisfaction on her irregularities in the records.she asked for leaving the office telling that she was not feeling well and in this regard i asked her to leave the records with the office for thorough scrutiny after taking a reciept for the records
she disagreed for that started an argument , yelling at me that i have no right to ask for the records, and she left the office snatching the records.
after then she went to police station and filed a case against me saying that i had scolded her by naming her caste, and also holded her hand asking for physical relation, also added that i had been harassing her for want of physical relation
Now i want few suggestions in this case
SI has come to inquiry for the other allegations than SC & ST with all the witness at the said scene of offense , and i have come to know that the police have come to conclusion this as false case, and asked for legal opinion on this.
can you people guide me of what should i do now.
what has to be done for the case to be closed, ca the police officials (DSP)close the entire case, by their own opinion , or else what has to be done
how much duration shall it take for me to come out of this false case
do i need to go to court of law for this problem.
please let me know of other problems if any are to be dealed.

Ye if the investigation finds the case false he can close the entire episode. But at first there is apprehension of arrest and bail. You should approach to High court to seek stay for arrest and for quashing the FIR.

If there is no FIR filed then the police Officers have right to close the case.If FIR is filed ,wait up to charge sheet filed by the police.After filing charge sheet you can file a quash petition before High Court.
The problems face by you shall depends upon the FIR and charge sheet.
