Fir in government welfare scheme against beneficiary

Please clarify that if any department or any competent officer does not register a complaint against beneficiary that is related to corruption in government welfare schemes intended for employment purpose of personal level or single household , then does the police by itself have the right to register an FIR on the basis of the allegations which are false and baseless done in revenge without proof of common person against beneficiary of government welfare schemes intended for self employment?

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether police can file an FIR against beneficiaries of government welfare schemes for self-employment based on unproven, revenge-motivated allegations. It questions the validity of such FIRs when no official complaint is registered by the department. The advice suggests that if the allegations are indeed false and baseless, the recourse might involve filing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) with the High Court or Supreme Court.

If you are interested in the welfare of the beneficiaries then you can file a PIL before the court competent i.e., the high court or supreme court on behalf of the beneficairies for which you can approach an advocate and move on.
