Dear Client,

if the allegation put by a government officer is proved wrong, then it shows effect on their professional life also. 

The law is equal and common to all whether government servant or otherwise in this regard.

If your wife has filed dowry harassment case against you, it would be on you as an individual and not against the government servant. 

You can challenge the same as per provisions of law and on merits in your side. 

If she is a government servant or a non worker or private service employee, she has filed the said cases seeking reliefs for the grievances she suffered in the marital relationship with her spouse.

The dowry harassment case shall be  prosecuted by the police and not she .

She is just a defacto complainant in that case. 

If the case is dismissed by the trial court stating it to be a  false case then the accused can sue the police for malicious prosecution.

However if the accused is acquitted by the court for not proving the case with proper evidence, he cannot take any action against police in this regard

There is no special treatment for a govt servant complainant. When she files it's better you take anticipatory bail to secure your family and you from arrest

The trial starts in these cases and if the person/ husband is declared innocent then he is acquitted.

If she has been proven wrong then there is no penalty imposed upon her automatically. People generally move on and don't file cases against wives.

But yes if one wants he can file cases against such a wife.

- As per law, a wife having her right to approach the Family Court to file cases on the ground of dowry ,and cruelty.

- However, if she loose her case , due to no producing sufficient evidence in support of her allegation against her husband , then it will not have any impact on her ,if she is an government employee. 

- But , the husband is having his right to file defamation case against her. 

- Further , if husband is a government servant , then if wife wins the case of dowry under section 498A against the husband , then the husband may be terminated from the job.
