Defamation for false accusations of forged document

The petitioner has filed a complaint stating the sale deed registered about 30 years ago was then forged. The fact is then documents were hand written and corrections made were signed by all parties. The claim is that the corrections were forged and complaint has been registered with Local Police and Tashildaar. Can I file a defamation case now against the petitioner and lawyers?

you cant file defamation case just because someone had lodged a false case on you.you need to wait for the outcome of the case.

Defamation is not maintainable. It is a judicial proceeding and the other side has every right to approach the court and seek ventilation of his grievance. If you fele he is wrong, contest the suit and defeat him on merits. Thereafter seek compensatory costs.
