'Dear Concerned,
YOu may choose to file a complaint case in nature of defamation , however it is not suggested to get into litigation that too when Divorce case of your son is on the final stages. It is always advised to stay away from litigation especially when the girl has herself withdrawn the DV case against the respondent no. 2 to 4 HOWEVER - do check the reason why the case against 2 to 4 has been withdrawn as that is where you will find the reason to file a complaint case.
