you don't have to do anything
now the prosecution will handle it.
the investigation report will be submitted by the investigation officer, charges will be framed and trial will commence.
you may have to assist the prosecution in leading evidence
then arguments will take place and judgment will be passed

Being a well wisher I would like to advise you to sit across with the acting managing committee members and sort out amicably thereby not spending time and money unnecessarily in court proceedings .I have gone through your file and requested the same to other party as well. Just because of a lit bit of bitterness do not misuse your society funds for unhealthy issues.

First of all, as a Lawyer, I need to understand motive of those which/who are behind maligning the image of the managing committee of the Society, then only legal solutions can be suggested.

Secondly, you should broadcast the videos of that time when the elections were conducted before all the members of the Society in the presence of the Registrar of the Society to win the confidence of each and every one.

Parallely, arrange a Press Conference & tackle with the allegations against you. Distribute all the evidences including videos of the election process in the media.

If you follow all the above-mentioned steps, your Managing Committee will present a positive and transparent image of it before the relevant stakeholders in this case which includes Media, Judiciary & Society Members, etc.

Management Committee absolutely did the correct thing by slapping those, who were maligning with a Defamation Notice.

As far as your question is concerned, what more things we can do legally, for that, you should meet me for a detailed discussion.
