I have lent Rs.10 lakhs to my brother-in-law. Our marriage broke down and BIL refused to return money. I have filed a money recovery suit which is running for 3 years. I gave him the money by cheque and he admits taking it. His account statement shows he spent all the money by giving it to other people. He has set up a false story of returning it through cash withdrawals from a different account.
Now, after so many years, he has filed a criminal case against my parents saying he returned the money to them in cash, along with a couple of his family members as fake witnesses.
There are various discrepancies in his story, but I want to save my parents from trial and get the case quashed. My question is: Even taking his allegations at face value, can he file a criminal case for money he had borrowed?
