This query is : Resolved
Hi everybody
I am yogesha. Actually some person A put one case against me, telling that i querreled with him and i injured him inthat fight. But actually no fight was took place. there were no proofs for it.
Finally after 6 to 7 months i won the case.
Court declared me as Innocent.
I dint do anything to him, just he booked a case against me and finally i won the case.But my question is, without doing anything i was made to fight the case, i was made to go to the court and i lost my prestige in front of freinds and neighbors.
So can i take any action against himor any other ways. If there are how?
Please help me.

mere acquittal will not suffice to proceed against the complainant for malicious prosecution and damages. it depends more upon the findings contained in the judgement in this regard.

NO!!!! FINDINGS OF THE CRIMINAL COURT ARE NOT AT ALL BE CONSIDERED.
YOU CAN FILE A SUIT FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION AND DEFAMATION CLAIMING MONEY IN TERMS OF DAMAGES. AND ONLY YOU NEED TO PROVE THAT THERE WAS YOUR PROSECUTION WHICH TERMINATED IN YOUR acquittal.YOU CAN ALSO FILE A CASE U/S 500 OF I.P.C.
