Dear Sir,

Yes, you can file defamation case because it lowers your image in the family circle which is more important for a person to survive.    It is a social stigma falsely created by them.  You have to file before magistrate court through advocate u/s 500 Cr.P.C.  

They have done a serious mistake by lodging false cases against you thus they have committed a mischief which is unbecoming of holding a public office .  you can file a criminal and civil defamation case claiming huge compensation since your reputation in the society has been lowered.  The finding given by the court is sufficient to establish defamation.  Discharge is a strong document saying that no such complaint ever lodged and no stigma will be attached to you since the said complaint itself erased from the record.

1) Defamation cases are of two types, criminal and civil.

2) In Civil defamation, a mala fide intention to defame is not always necessary. If defamation is caused, thenbsuit lies. Court fees are required to be paid as per value of damages caused to reputation.

3) Criminal defamation must, in addition, contain some deliberate malice or malafide intention, to cause damage to reputation of someone.

Here, court fees are NOT required at The level of a civil case.

At the end of case, court punishes offender  if defamation is proved.

3) In civil defamation case, at end of case, court awards damages to compensate loss to reputation if defamation is proved.

File a private complaint under Section 200 of Cr.P.C. against your father-in-law's brothers, for the offence punishable under Section 500 and alleging that they have made defamatory and derogatory remarks in connection to the false OP.

Contact a local lawyer to get the above done.

The period of limitation to institute a criminal defamation case, is 3 years from the date of the event.

you have to file defamation case where offence has taken place

2) you have to file it in same city wherein false case was filed by your uncles 

3) file private complaint before magistrate under section 500 of IPC 

4) legal fees vary depending upon lawyer engaged by you 

Can file defamation suit for compensation for false accusation and filling false case. Can file as soon as, Jurisdiction will be same court were false case filed. Cost as per advocate fees.

Hello, 

Please tell me as to how you have been defamed? 

Please understand that going through a mental pressure and defamation are true diff things? 

was there any paper publication or any other thing with regards to the case due to which the image has been defamed? 

Also, not that most of the cases of criminal defamation does not end up with conviction. You may rather file a civil suit and may claim damages. 

Regards  

There is two mode for filling defamation case

(1)to file petition before local Police

(2)civil suit for which notice is required before filling plaint,and court fee is payable as per quantum of damage caused by such defamation

Dear sir,

It is called Tort . The Indian courts not encouraging such defamation cases which are based upon false civil cases. Indian Judiciary is already over burdened with several lakhs of cases . You may file such defamation case but i am of the view that you may not get any monetary compensation and also they may not be punished 

For filing of Defamation case you should first send them a legal Notice to claim damages and written apology from your Uncle.

Then you Should File a criminal Complaint of Defamation in court as it is non cognizable offence and police cannot take any action without court orders.

Costs depends on the advocate you hire and type of cases you want to file against them.

By filing the case against you people they cannot be termed to have defamed you.

No doubt you had to undergo arduous strain due to the court case, however since the case is dismissed for whatever the reason, in my opinion, there may not exist any ingredient for filing a defamation case under section 500 IPC.

You may consult a local advocate on this and take a decision provided if recommended.
