I have approached police and a petition requesting the police to call upon the party in pending .( I have receipt for the same ) SHO told me that they will warn the culprits and take a statement from them . Now, I am considering to file defamation suit against them claiming compensation of 50 lakhs .I have people who have witnessed the abuse and ready to sign as witness . Kindly advice me if it's worth filing defamation case in this situation
As your neighbour has abused you in filthy words, that is a punishable offence under section.504 ipc And you can take a necessary action against such person through the court.
You can also send a notice to them through a lawyer.

The incident which u have explained will not constitute an offence of defamation. So in this situation it is not advisable to file any suit for defamation ..u hav an alternate relief of filing a suit for injunction restraining them to interfere in to the peaceful posession of your property.
If your neighbour used defamatory words in public, you can file a suit for damages. For civil case you will have to pay the Cort fee. In criminal u need to pay any court fee. You can file civil n criminal cases
