1) If police Inspector has assured you that he is not going to file case against you. If it is a week that passed away means that inspector had kept his word. Police also know that your girl friend is laying so don't worry.

Get a complaint copy and see if police has registered any FIR. If they have and if charges are framed under bailable offence you need not worry if not get anticipatory bail. Secondly she can approach court with private complaint seeking court to direct inspector to investigate case properly. As such better see in court if any FIR is submitted in your name or not.

1) the inspector has closed the complaint itself he has not filed any FIR on said complaint.

2) she can approach the magistrate with a private complaint if she wants to proceed further and police has refused to file an fir.

3) take copy of complaint and counter complaint and keep it as a record for future use.

4) don't meet or try to contact with your gf as she may use it as another opportunity against you.

This is normal procedure that police investigate matter on information and registeres the case only if sufficient evidences are found to register the FIR for further investigations. Please don't worry then and be relaxed.

Unless the police wants to extract some money from you this case will not resurface again. Police has the power to close the case at their own level only when they do not find the case to be of worth enough.

In case they believe that this case is worth enough to be brought before the court then they will file the appropriate case before the court and then will inform you accordingly.

Dear client : Kindly restore your counter complaint. As it may prove to viral for you in future. Secondly in case the girl/ police get a FIR registered against you , then based on your counter complaint, you too try your best to get FIR registered against the girl by adding IPC 182 section in your FIR.

Not a problem then.

In any case, even if there's a FIR, you will be easily able to contest the same in a quash petition; and the Court will most likely show some indulgence in this matter.

If FIR is registered then it may be a problem for yourself and there is no provision that you should be informed but if non bailable case is registered police may arrest you so whether you care about her or not for your safety get verified if any case is registered and FIR is sent to jurisdiction magistrate by police. Secondly on basis of complaint after completing investigation police may arrest you if they find any grave allegations against you. Better to get it verified regarding FIR.

You should check with the local police station once for your safety that there is no fir regarding the issue.

You should keep the copies of complaint from both side along with the evidence for some time as if there is any future problem.

Also in case she files any case she has to prove charges on you. You have to defend by your evidence.

1) Yes correct that is not FIR, its just complaint copy. Tell her not to do any false complaint and never come in touch with you.

For the present there is no action taken by police hence you may not be worried for the present.

You can manage the situation in the even of any future complaint about it, however you dont try to kindle the affair by renewing any contact with her at least to avoid any problem in future.

In my opinion she may not emerge with another complaint against you in future as she wants to go ahead with her proposed new life.

Whatever, you may avoid her in future to avoid problems.

The police would not have registered FIR, they would have closed the complaint on the basis of written statement given by you.

Check with the police station once again if any FIR has been lodged or not, to the best of my experience I do not think that any FIR per se has been lodged against you.
