Dear sir,
Best of my knowledge firstly you should go with the case which is the imposed by your neighbour. If it is proved that your neighbour falsely imposed you have a strong ground for file a defamation case. on oher hand defamation is defined as the writing, publication and speaking of a false statement which causes injury to reputation and good name for private interest. Defamation can be viewed criminal as well as civil offence. under Sec- 499 & 500 of Indian Panel Code victim can be filed a criminal case for defamation against the accused. Punishment for the guilty person is simple imprisonment which may extend for 2 years or fine or both. for civil suit you can move High court or subordinate court under Law of tort for damages in the form of monetary compensation.
