If some body mischievously files case against me what action should I take.
Prakash Yedhula (Lawyer) 20 February 2009
In case of criminal matter, you may seek compensation by filing suit for malicious prosecution. However, judgment must contain the findings to the effect that prosecution faced is malicious one. In civil litigation also you may seek compensation.
PALNITKAR V.V. (Lawyer) 20 February 2009
I think even if there is no finding in the judgment that the prosecution was malicious, even then suit for damages can be filed. The plaintiff has to prove absence of reasonable and probable cause for prosecution.
N.K.Assumi (Advocate) 21 February 2009
The action for damages for malicious prosecution is part of the Common Law of England. In India the law on the subject is exactly the same as the Law in England and the USA.The foundation of the action lies in abuse of the process of the Court by wrongfully setting the law in motion and it is designed to discourage the perversion of the machinery of justice for an improper purpose.
In order that an action for malicious prosecution may be succeed the following elements may be proved by the Plaintiff.
1.The proceedings must have been instituted or continued by the defendant.
2.The proceedings must have been unseccessful- that is to say, must have been terminated in favor of the plaintiff now suing.
3.The defendants must have acted without reasonable and probable cause.
4.The defendants must have acted maliciously.
