The sections mentioned by you can be slapped against her only when the evidence of the prosecution is led, not before it. These sections are offences with respect to administration of justice, hence they can be slapped only and only if evidence has been led before the court.

No FIR can be lodged by the husband at present moment.

First of all whether the information is false or not is to be determined after end of trial. Before that no case can be filed for starting a false facts.

So you are concentrating on wrong line .

Take bail and then go for quashing or fight the case on merit.

Once you are acquitted then go for suit for damages due to malicious prosecution.

hi

Yes. you can file a written complaint and also submit evidences to substantiate the following offences committed by in laws and wife

a) Furnishing false information.(IPC 177)

b) Giving false evidence (IPC 191)

c) Giving or fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction of offence punishable with imprisonment for life or imprisonment(IPC 195)

d) False statement made in declaration which is by law receivable as evidence.(IPC 199)

e) Using as true such declaration knowing it to be false.(IPC 200)

f) False charge of offence made with intent to injure(IPC 211)

You can file the complaint anytime as you are already on interim bail and in your case anticipatory/regular bail is only a procedural formality.

Police will have to mandatorily register your complaint and issue a FIR as mandated u/s 154 of Cr.P.C as your inlaws and wife have made a false complaint as a result of which you had to obtain interim bail and has been a victim of circumstances.

You can also initiate the following claim proceedings if you intend to financially penalize / screw the other side for their false and fictitious complaints against you

a)claim for Perjury(340 Cr.P.C) - (this can be filed now) OR

b) File a defamation case under 499 of IPC.(this can be filed now) OR

c) Claim Substantial damages for malicious prosecution after your acquittal in the false claim filed against you.

Hope this information is useful

You can register such a complaint as a private complaint before the judicial magistrate court that too only after establishing the offences you observed, i.e., after proving all the charges agaisnt you as false.
