Judgement printed in newspaper opp party filing defamation case


22-Feb-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)

Sir, in consumer forum, I won a case and judgment was announced and published in all leading newspaper but opposite party filled a appeal and forwarded me a email in writing which reads as: You have paid money to newspapers to publish news so that you can defame us but we will prove that in court. But fact is I had not paid any money and in fact talked to newspaper official also. Can I file a case on them. If yes under which section and which court. Or can I file case in state commission consumer forum

Sir I would recommend you to wait for them to make the move in this matter as currently they have not committed as criminal offence or civil wrong. In case they file a defamation case, which is unlikely to succeed, then you can defend the same. Otherwise, the best course of action for you currently is to contest their appeal in the Appellate Court. The OP is using these tactics to merely harass you.
