This query is : Resolved
my wife got expired after 9 months of marriage on 30/08/10. all rituals were done only in presence of her natural parents. they did not objected any where that time. nor they blamed us that time for anything. even they dint asked for postmortem. just her eyes were donated.
but then after 10 days they wrote a letter of 10 pages to society blaming that we killed their daughter. they asked society in written for taking some action against my family. some of the office bearers of society being relatives of my in-laws took their side and asked us on verbal basis to return jewellery to them. though my in-laws have not done legal complaint or complication for us till now(feb,11). Even society did a meeting on 5/10/10 regarding this. In that meeting my wife's uncle asked society to take jewelleries of neha from us stating that when she is no more in this world, why should we keep her symbols. it must be used in any social welfare. he accepted in meeting that they wrote that letter by mistake but he is not ready to accept that in writing.
We are chasing society from that time continuosly for the result of meeting through registered with ad letters. but even they are not giving any written consent. They are just asking us to forget everything that happened. Now they are saying on verbal basis that THIS IS YOUR FAMILIAR ISSUE. WHAT SOCIETY CAN SAY ON THIS?? Even they have sent a letter on this issue to the national body of our society.
Can i suit a case of defamation against my inlaws?? Is there any time limit to complaint for defamation?? do society will be also effected if i suit a case of defamation against my inlaws?

As per section 468 Cr.P.C. limitation for filing complaint against crime of defamation is three years from the date of defamation.

send a notice to the society as well as your inlaws and if they do not mend their ways file a case

Every action has a reaction so unless you are right hundred percent you may face counter action which will be more harsh.
