March 7, 2025 at 3:31 amI’ll give as much detail as possible.
So my mom is in president position at a social work organization that hires women on contract for work . My mother’s role is to give and oversee the contracts.
Last year a SC woman came in, begged for job , mom believed her and gave her a contract for 3 months.The contract has signature of district head and secretary as well (this secretary has further role in story) In the 3 months she did not do any work and made a mess at most of the site.
Now after her contract was over she came in again claiming her actual contract was 11 months and that my mom maliciously kicked her out.
Now here comes the incident . One day last year she and her husband came to meeting in the office(husband was outside) , as meeting concluded that she was getting kicked out , her husband started making scene outside then she started abusing as well . My mom was confused most of the time and did not say a word to them. The couple next day went to police and filed a complaint that castiest slurs were used against them.Police being SC himself at first was rude to my mother. She gave them her statement . Now this meeting took place in front of around 6 people ; two of them being SC women who were part of the plan and on her side. They gave statement that my mom used castiest slurs while rest if the people present there gave statement on my mother’s side. Also the secretary who wasn’t present there is on SC women’s side as that secretary is corrupt as fuxk.
After leaving police station my mother started collecting all the evidence she can , gave it to the police , police did preliminary inquiry and found the case to be baseless. Then the SC couple went to SP. SP also found the case to be baseless and hence gave the closure report . Hence no FIR was lodged .
Now here’s the thing . The SC couple is simply not stopping. They are doing protests, taking help of politicians, SC organisations since last year . They are doing protest on imp events like 15 Aug,26 Jan, women’s day etc. Also taking help of SC news reporters. All this just to pressurize the police.
So my question is can the police get pressurized and file an FIR ? We asked our lawyer can we file counter case against them, he said it won’t be worth it. Also if FIR is loged will we get a bail ? Till now we haven’t payed a single penny to anyone , cause that’s how baseless this cade is.
Pls help us in any way you can. -

March 7, 2025 at 4:53 pmOP hire a different lawyer, also file an application directly In court to get anticipatory bail… based on earlier closure of FIR and continued harassment from those people. If court grant that then they would not be able to do anything even if the FIR is filed.

March 7, 2025 at 4:09 amIf it has already been one year, its highly unlikely that FIR will be registered. Only under very high pressure or through court referred case, the FIR can be registered. Otherwise it is already too late.By chance if FIR gets registered, get an anticipatory bail and apply for quashing of the case in HC, in interim order pray for stay. The HC will most probably grant a stay and then no one will bother about it.
Dont give the job back, she will repeat this again. Enough with their bullshit of fake cases.

March 7, 2025 at 4:23 amSection 18 bars anticipatory bail under the SC ST Act. They would have to apply for regular bail after the FIR is lodged either by surrendering in court or on remand.-

March 7, 2025 at 6:12 amNALthey are saying that if from the facts its not directly evident your mom did some crime (use castist slurs), then your mother can apply for anticipatory bail. anticipatory bail is when you ask the court to let you go before the police arrest you. You have to pay some money for that. Normal bail is asking to be let go after the police arrest you. Again like all bail, you have to pay money.

March 7, 2025 at 5:18 amThe Supreme Court has clarified in various judgments that this bar is not absolute. If the allegations are prima facie false or do not make out an offense under the Act, courts can still grant anticipatory bail.90% of the cases get anticipatory bail.

March 7, 2025 at 4:45 amLawyer said if by chance FIR is registered, my mom should leave the town and directly go to the city to seek anticipatory bail. He also said you have to pay around 50k rs to get that bail. Is that true?-

March 7, 2025 at 6:18 amNALthe lawyer would know the facts of the case better than us and would also know how police/politicians and SC activist groups function so maybe listen to him.
However i dont agree with his advise of asking your mother to leave town. Your case seems like it has some hope. Maybe consider taking advise of some other lawyers as well.

March 7, 2025 at 7:51 amSo he needs to be sure first that there weren’t any castist slurs, then he(who has already ascertained that his mother did not use any slurs) would miraculously find that she did use castist slurs and would would take his mother to the police station and then tell the police to file a case( which BTW the police has already deemed baseless in their preliminary inquiry because of lack of proof), now after such a long time following a closure report now the mummy and beta will go and tell police uncle to file a case.
Thank you for such an incredible suggestion and advice.-

March 7, 2025 at 7:36 amIf it’s already been a year, the chances of an FIR being registered are pretty low unless there’s significant pressure or a court order. If it does happen, your best move would be to get anticipatory bail and then apply for quashing in the High Court. In the meantime, requesting a stay can help keep things in check. As for giving the job back, be cautious—if this has happened once, it could happen again. Protect yourself legally and make decisions that ensure your peace of mind. It’s frustrating dealing with false cases, but staying calm and handling it smartly will work in your favor.-

March 7, 2025 at 7:54 amFrom a cursory reading of your case, here are my thoughts on your case :SP’s closure report carries statutory weight under [BNSS §187]
Protestors cannot legally compel FIR registration without fresh evidence [SC Guidelines 2023]
Also, Counteraction Measures that you can take :
Issue legal notice to protestors under:
[BNS §229] (false charges)
[BNS §351] (criminal intimidation)
File writ petition under Article 226 for:
Injunction against police coercion
Directions for protestor accountability
Further Engage a specialized SC/ST Act lawyer to file:
Mandamus petition against police harassment
Damages suit for reputational harm
Counter-FIR under BNS §196 (fabricating evidence)
Consult your lawyer to get a better understanding of these all, and then decide how you want to proceed.

March 8, 2025 at 1:21 amUnpopular opinion but I think OP’s mother should have a proper meeting with her and her husband (and secretly record this meeting for future evidence in the unlikely event that they go back on their word) and give the lady her job back with certain riders such as revocation of the case and her commitment to do her work properly once reinstated, may also provide some kind of training if possible. An amicable solution is the best way out of such scenarios.-

March 8, 2025 at 6:27 pmThere was a meeting regarding this within the organisation . My mother refused to get her back at work , she told them that she is giving her resignation and other women ( the 2sc women who were on the couples side) should take my mom’s position in org. Those SC accomplice refused that offer as they did not want to be involved in the corruption that couple will pull.

April 27, 2025 at 11:26 amPlease help me, I am also facing a false atrocity case.Backstory:
It all started around 14 months ago, on 10/03/2024. A Scheduled Tribe (ST) person came to my maternal uncle’s (Mama’s) shop and started abusing after a heated debate. (He was drunk and upset because my uncle had put up a Ram Navami flag. He even slapped my uncle.)In response, my uncle called his elder brother and me for help. We went there and calmed the situation. My elder uncle even apologized just to end things on a good note.
However, after things seemed settled, the ST person’s brothers and a group of goons arrived. Without any provocation, they started beating us brutally. They tore off my T-shirt and tried to rip off my shorts (which were almost torn apart). They kept shouting that they would parade us naked.
I was severely beaten with bats and stones and was even bitten on my arm. Due to the injuries, I was hospitalized.
We immediately lodged an FIR against them.
Later, when they came to know about our FIR, they attempted to register a false atrocity case against us. Initially, the police refused because the previous officer in charge knew the history of the ST individual — he had already filed at least three false atrocity cases in the past and had multiple criminal cases pending against him. We also had CCTV footage supporting our version.
Fast forward to the present — after the retirement of the previous officer, a new officer (who belongs to the same caste as the ST person and is allegedly connected to him) has now registered an FIR against us. The new officer mentioned that he was under pressure from higher authorities. (The ST person has influence and has even obtained a letter of support from Ramdas Athawale.)
We were given two options:
1. Request the ST person to withdraw his complaint and simultaneously withdraw our FIR; or
2. Face registration of the atrocity case against us within 15 minutes.We pleaded for at least one day to respond, but the officer refused and filed the FIR.
I need advice:
– How is this going to affect me, considering I was **not present at the time of the initial debate**?
– When I arrived, I was immediately attacked by the goons — I was only a victim, not an aggressor.
