Did you file the case without facts?  Why do you have a doubt?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     23 November 2023

You have filed a case against the service provider, but by filing this case you have not done any crime against him, instead you were looking for relief towards your grievance.

Hence, even if you lose your case, he cannot sue you without any base except that if it was really fraudulent case then he may sue you for defamation

Generally no case is filed against loser consumer

There is nothing to be concerned if the proceedings have been initiated without any malice.
