Dear Querist
you may issue a legal notice to them and request them for the same.

have they posted something which was false at the time of posting?

Such things are of no concern to the general public; they have their own concerns to worry/take care. The real problem is your obsession in searching your past in the Google. The obvious solution is in rising above such obsessions.

If the facts posted were correct, no case need to be initiated.

The author has stated that the person was booked for theft of cheque which was subsequently stated to have been compounded / compromised and the FIR case is being published by google, it tentamount to defamation.
It would be better to disclose your identity and full facts of the case, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/ documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
