Hi All, My ex wife had filed FALSE 498a case on me and other 5 of my family members including parents, brother and family, sister and family. I had filed for quashing under 482 CrPC. Now H'ble High Court of Karnataka has allowed my quash and whole FIR is quashed Earlier they had published about the dowry harassment and mentioned my name and all other family members name in local news paper. Now, 498a being quashed, what actions can I take on her and her family for harassing by false cases?

Dear Sir, You may file both civil and criminal defamation cases and claim huge amount as compensation.  1) DEFAMATION CASES ARE OF TWO TYPES, CRIMINAL AND CIVIL. 2) In Civil defamation, a mala fide intention to defame is not always necessary. If defamation is caused, thenbsuit lies. Court fees are required to be paid as per value of damages caused to reputation. 3) Criminal defamation must, in addition, contain some deliberate malice or malafide intention, to cause damage to reputation of someone. Here, court fees are NOT required at The level of a civil case. At the end of case, court punishes offender  if defamation is proved.
