Hi Author,
As far as I know discharge you can opt before the charges are framed, if Prima facie no case is formed looking at the allegations.
Once charges framed , the trial has to run and u need to get aquitted, but after cross if you provide evidences that its a false case then also judge will go for aquittal, ur discharge application willl not hold good.
I also feel getting aquitted in a case is better than getting discharged. Also in Discharge application only CS is taken into account, no evidences can be produced in front of Court.
