you mother has to attend the Municipality for hearing and submit the real facts. She may also prepare a statement in writing stating all the facts that she is not the real owner and she has nothing to do with this petition. At the same time she can file a petition before the concerned R.D.O, stating that she was unnecessarily dragged to the authorities by a false petition filed by the neighbor.

First u send a legal notice to the man who lodged false complaint against ur mother stating that within ------ days he ought to withdraw the above complaint or a civil suit for compensation for giving false complaint would be initiated against him.

Hi,

In this case, I understand that the opposite party has filed a false complaint against your mother. You can file a civil suit claiming damages for causing trauma and embarrassment to a old poor lady. Also, scope of criminal cases for malicious prosecution can also be explored in this issue.
