Prayer can be made to such police officer to take action (To file complaint) before whom FIR was present and later on police found it to be false.
If police have presented charge sheet in court and court found this FIR to be false, prayer ( to file complaint) can be made to presiding officer of the court who tried the case.
Sec 199 is punishable as Sec 193 IPC.
