False case against me by a corrupted staff influenced by my cousin sister

I have been associated with Mahesh Sri Ramkrishna Library since childhood and became a registered member in 2009. My cousin sister Madhumita Mukherjee started visiting the library around 2012 while studying Masters in Library Science and was later appointed there by the committee without a transparent recruitment process. After her appointment, personal family hostility arose. In December 2017, a Group-D staff member of the library, Sukharanjan Dey, filed a CR (complaint) case against my elder sister and me, alleging that he was assaulted by me inside the library in April 2017. The complaint relied on witnesses including a private tutor teaching inside the library and some non-staff persons. A written letter submitted to the library secretary was also produced before the court as part of the complaint. The complainant did not pursue the case properly and remained absent on several dates. The CR case was disposed of/dismissed in January 2021, with no conviction or adverse finding against me or my sister. I am now seeking legal advice on remedies for false implication, harassment, and protection of reputation, including possible defamation or other lawful action after examining the certified case records.

Yes, you can file a civil  suit for compensation for damages of reputation, defamation, mental and physical agony, harashment and financial losses suffered.

Besides this, you can file a criminal complaint for defamation, malacious prosecution, agony, loss of reputation, harashment etc. etc. 

You should contact, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper appreciation of evidence(s), professional advise and necessary proceeding.

The proposed defamation cae and claim for damages may not be maintainable for the reasons:

it is barred by limitation, it is not known whethern the dismissal order was for default, non-prosecution or lack of evidence, etc. which  will determine the remedies if available. 

Whatever you may first issue a legal notice demanding apology and huge amount towards damages, if he reciprocates in your favor, then the fresh limitation will start.

The case was dismissed for non appearance. Honourable Judicial Magistrate ordered 256 (1) crpc.

When the case has already been dismissed u/s 256 CrPC what is your worry/ query / question ?

However, you must have engaged a lawyer to contest your case, what is his/her opinion and advise on the subject since s/he is well aware about facts and circumstances of the case ? Have you lost faith in your lawyer ?

Now I want to file case for harassment and false case against the person who filed the case and my cousin sister who provoked him to do that. I do not want to discuss with my previous advocate as he was appointed by my family. Actually my family do not want that I proceed in this matter. That's why I have decided to move alone in this matter with different advocate.
