The Kerala High Court on Monday Directed the police to register a case against a woman who had made a false complaint that she was raped by a junior health inspector while under quarantine.
After examining the inquiry report filed by police, the court observed that it has been revealed that “it is a false case” and the police decided to take legal action against her under IPC Section 182 (false information, with intent to cause public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person). “I don't want to make any further observation in it because a case is going to be registered against the de facto complainant and the same is to be investigated by the investigating officer.The officer concerned will investigate the case, untrammelled by any observation in this order.”
