first step is to send a legal notice for civil defemation. then you can proceed to file a suit in the high court and basis the compensation you are seeking, the court fees would defer. if you file the suit in person you would not bear any other costs. however, if you file the suit through the services of a legal attorney you would be required to pay the necessary court fees.

Civil defamation involves no criminal offence, but on account of this kind of defamation, you could sue the person to get a legal compensation for your defamation. It is studied under law of torts i.e. as a civil wrong. Current Court fee for the claim of 25 Lakhs is Rs 43, 230 Rs. Apart from the Court fees, you have to bear Attorney fees on an Advocate/Attorney to file & litigate the Defamation Shot on your behalf and under your instructions in City Civil Court. Other expenses which you have to bear will also include : Meagre Stationery, Printing, Typing, Dictation, Printout/Xerox Charges, etc. In order to initiate the process of Civil Defamation Case, you have to sign on a Vakalatnama in my favor & as such, I'll file a Plaint in the Court stating your Pleadings before the Court containing prayers. We can seek Litigation Cost too which your are going to spend on lawyer to fight this battle for seeking Compensation from Court.
