While double jeopardy is prohibited by the law, an aggrieved person has option to file private complaint (Istighasa) either parallel to a state case (initiated on FIR) or after that (see Section 200 of CrPC). If he has already put the state machinery into motion, this may be a possible defence for you. However, you have to contest the private complaint (Istighasa) and get yourself free from it. That said, after looking into details of your case, it could be decided whether or not a stay on Complaint proceedings may be sought.
