Consult an experienced advocate and show him the legal notice you received and ask to prepare a proper reply as you have not stated full facts.

You can issue a reply notice denying the allegations made and can inform him that the contents are false hence if he is resorting to further legal action despite this notice, you may proceed agaisnt him besides challenging his false case properly in the court of law for which he would be liable for the costs and consequences

Sir will they file case in court directly or will they put FIR in police station

You may just deny the allegations. He is only trying intimidate. If there are really grounds for initiating criminal proceedings, there is no legal requirement that such a Notice be issued.

Sir I didn't do any mistake then why should I go to court and prove. It will waste my time and money

Since they have sent false allegations in legal notice, shall I give police complaint on them and put FIR on them? Is it possible?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 15 March 2023
How do you say that the allegations mentioned in the legal notice are false, are you a court or judge to pronounce them as false, until and unless you prove them to be false through court verdict, you cannot file any criminal case against them including a defamation case.

Did you respond to the notice received ?
Did you lodge police complaint against the author of notice, if you feel offended with contents of notice stated to have been received by you?
or
You are giving an examination to experts on this platform with vague and incomplete information ?
