This query is : Resolved
My name figures in an FIR filed by the Police on 22nd July 2016 u/s 354 of IPC and u/s 10/12 of POCSO. Three months have passed and the Police has already filed the Preliminary Charge sheet. There is nothing mentioned in it about me although it is mentioned clearly in the Preliminary Charge sheet that the ‘ investigation is open.’
Can I file a defamation suit against the complainants now?
pls reply
thanks

Whether your name finally appears or not do note that no defamation case solely for the reason of mentioning your name in complaint.
