A girl's father given written against me to his police station and mentioned that I molest her daughter when she used to go tuition, over phone, by letter using un-parliamentary language by me and posted her inappropriate photo over social media. But I didn't do that. These all are false allegation against me. I used to go office from my house daily. Since 1 yr ago I was talking to her but after that I've no contact with her. Someone else is doing this and un-necessary I'am involved in this. Police came to my house and abuses me and my family and threaten me not to do this again and leave the city as soon as possible. So request you to please suggest me what to do and how to get out of it. Should I file a defamation case against her father for false allegation. We are reputed family in society. My reputation and my family reputation got vanished because of his false allegation. Everyone talking the same thing. We are living in village area. So you can understand how society works in villages. So request you to please suggest me what to do? How much time it will take to final decision because I'm unmarried, Male. How much fee I've to pay??

Very simple solution is to hire services of some experienced local lawyer. He will handle you case appropriately for which you won't need any casual type of advice on your casual query, as case can take a serious turn. Fee varies from lawyer to lawyer depending upon his reputation. Time can be one year, 10 years or even 20 years, nobody can guess accurately.

In your Case Police had just given a oral warning basing on the complaint from some one. These days such police visits are common and no such defamation could be made out in this. Recently in a Railways Union issue Police took a person wrongly who was having the same name as union leader. So in your issue no such defamation also. Better with the help of local advocate find out the real issue and what is the complaint and who is the complainant and sort it out amicably in a pleasant and peaceful manner
