A government employee was levelled false allegations knowingly by the authirities and implcated in to a criminal case and tried their best to deprive him to get documents for his defence (thorugh RTI Act 2005). After 15 years of trial, the Hon Court found all the charges to be false and acquitted him.
Is there any provision in the law for the victim to claim compensation from the conerned authoities for the physical , financial (payment of legal fees stc for his defence and stagnant salary due to non promotion and lower superannuation benefits) harrassment and mental agony for the intentional false allegations levelled by the authirities ? Please elborate.
