You can also file a complaint u/s 211 of the Indian Penal Code, or file a suit for malicious prosecution. In my opinion, a copy of the judgement's report acquitting you will be sufficient evidence for the purpose of filing of such complaint/suit. Rest assured, her father being a lawyer doesn't provide her with absolute immunity from any charges filed against her.

Lawyer or his/her kin are not immune from provision of law in Republic of India.

Better to file it in the same court where trail had happend.

Her father being a lawyer was not able to prove her false allegations. It means, no one are out of law. So file it in the same court with your existing lawyer(498 A lawyer).
