Until you have not proved that this is a false case you cannot do anything to this legally.

The law enforcing authority, i.e., the police have registered FIR based on the cognizance taken on the complaint before it, whether it is false or true case shall be decided by court and not the police. The duty of police is to investigate and send its report to the court along with the charge sheet and prosecute the case through public prosecutor. So without the court deciding the case or acquitting you or discharging you or dismissing the case, how will you confirm that it is a false case.

You have to wait for the court to pass its verdict after that you can decide about proceeding with the proposed cases.

If the police are delaying to file the charge sheet, you may take up the matter for quashing the FIR under section 482 r.p.c. before the high court.

1. You can move the HC for quashing of the case filed against you. That the chargesheet has not been filed by police does not prevent you from going to HC.

2. You are at liberty to prosecute your partner for defamation, but it will be wise on your part to delay the launch of defamation proceedings until such time that you are exonerated.

1. Since police is still investigating you can close this case.

2. Wait till submission of charge sheet and once it is done you can file quashing case.

3. To expedite submission of charge sheet you can file writ petition in high court.

4. Only after your acquittal or submission of closure report by police you can file defamation case against your partner.
