Under Indian Legal System, there is no burden on an accused to prove himself or herself innocent.
In cases, where a false case is being filed, there is bright possibility that during cross-examination of such witnesses, truth may come out or falsities stand exposed.
your lawyer can get the truth out in cross examination.
