This query is : Resolved
Dear experts, Please suggest me….I am in Govt job , posted at East Champaran(Bihar). About twelve years prior to this job, I reside in a rental house at another District and after joining this job I left that house in the year 1998 and the caretaker of that house owner kept another renter without the consent of the house owner and after ten years he (house owner) not succeeded in doing vacation the house filed an eviction suit against me. Now, the renter vacated the house sue motto or perhaps some pressure. I make a contact with the house owner and asked as to why he filed the suit against me, he(house owner) replied that he is withdrawing the suit,but did not do so up till now. Therefore, what can I do ? Can I file a defamation suit or criminal case of defamation , in this district against him for bringing a false suit against me,if he withdrew the case ?

What do you mean by ;renter'? Anyway as far I could understand your query such case even if withdrawn does not amount to publication of defamation and hence no such case lies against him.

Simply leave it. You cannot file any proceeding for defamation or damages.
