How can I file a counter-complaint for a false public cursing accusation?

Greetings,

If someone filed a false complaint against you for public cursing, and it led to a case and an airport stop, you have the legal right to file a counter-complaint for false accusations and misuse of the legal system.

The delay in filing the report (3 months later) may also work in your favor.

To defend yourself and take proper legal action, we recommend you consult a lawyer immediately.

Our team can assist you in responding to the charges and filing a counter-case if justified.

Hello,

The three-month delay between your last meeting and the complaint raises serious credibility issues. If there are no witnesses or recordings, it's your word against his.

You may file a counter-complaint against the person who made the false report. This counter-complaint should include:

- A clear statement that the report is false,

- Evidence that you did not make any public cursing,

- Arguments challenging the credibility of the report, especially the three-month delay, and

- Any potential motives the person might have for making a false report.

You may follow the procedures with the police.

If you need further clarification or assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear questioner,

Even though the accuser filed the complaint 3 months after the fact, gather any evidence that could prove you did not commit the alleged act. This could include:

- Witnesses who can attest to your character or confirm you were not involved in any such incident.

- Any communication records (e.g., messages, emails) that might contradict the accuser's claims.

- Any evidence that shows where you were at the time of the alleged incident.

- Any evidence that points to the accuser's motivation to make a false claim and possibly make a counter-complaint for a false complaint against you.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Under UAE law, you can file a counter-complaint for defamation or false reporting against the person who filed the case against you if you can prove the complaint is false.

You may also present evidence and testimonies to prove your innocence. Our legal center specializes in such cases and can assist you with filing the counter-complaint and handling the case.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out!

I understand your concern regarding the false report made against you for public cursing and being stopped at the airport due to it. Here's some guidance on how you can proceed:

1. File a Counter-Complaint for False Reporting:

If the accusation made against you is entirely false and you can prove this, you may file a counter-complaint against the person who reported you. In the UAE, false reporting or providing false information to authorities can be considered a criminal offense, punishable under the UAE Penal Code.

Article 325 of the UAE Penal Code provides that anyone who knowingly files a false complaint can be subject to criminal prosecution.

If the person has intentionally made a false claim to cause harm to your reputation or for other malicious purposes, this can be grounds for a counter-complaint.

2. Gather Evidence to Prove Your Innocence:

To support your claim, you will need to gather any evidence that disproves the allegation:

- Witness Statements: If there were any individuals present when the alleged incident occurred who can testify to the fact that you did not use offensive language, they can serve as valuable witnesses.

- Communication Records: If there is any communication (messages, emails, etc.) between you and the accuser that can show the nature of your relationship and prove there was no incident of public cursing, this can be used.

- Surveillance Footage: If there were any cameras or CCTV footage available where the incident supposedly took place (e.g., at a public location), you can request the authorities to check the footage to verify your claims.

3. Legal Action for False Reporting:

If you have strong evidence to suggest that the complaint made against you is false and malicious, you can take legal action against the individual under the UAE Penal Code. You may be able to:

- File a criminal case for defamation or false reporting.

- Seek compensation for any harm done to your reputation or personal well-being as a result of the false report.

4. Addressing the Case at the Airport:

If you were stopped at the airport based on this false complaint, you should:

- Request clarification from the authorities as to the basis of the stop and provide them with your evidence to support your innocence.

- You can inform the authorities that you are contesting the false accusation and are in the process of filing a counter-complaint for false reporting.

5. Consulting with a Lawyer:

We can help you file the counter-complaint, assist in gathering and presenting the necessary evidence, and represent you in court if needed.

6. Next Steps:

- Gather your evidence and any supporting materials.

- File a counter-complaint for false reporting and defamation.

- Consider consulting with us to ensure that you follow the proper legal procedure and have the best chance of success.
