Criminal Law
► Person A files a false complaint against person B and police closes the complaint citing lack of evidence. No FIR gets filed. Tort law does not come into picture as no criminal proceedings have begun. Defamation case does not hold as no article/publication has been made. Requesting SP for consideration of section 182 does not come into picture as the complaint was not closed citing 'false complaint' rather 'lack of evidence. In such a scenario, what legal remedy does the falsely accused person B have?
