An employee who left our organisation did file a false complaint against our company stating he was not given salary. But we have submitted all evidences and labour office found the complaint to be false. Intention of the person was to harm us and waste our valuable time. Is there any law where we can file a complaint against that person for misleading the labour office and harassing us and wasting our valuable time.
