Any Civil Suit agsint[law of TORT] against FIL

anantha madhav (Querist) 29 June 2011 This query is : Resolved

Dear Forum members,

I had filed RTI on my FIL who had filed 498a case through his daughter. I didnt get any reply 4 my RTI, but the complaint against PIO is pending before SIC.

In reply to that he wrote a letter to my Office that a criminal [498a] case and civil [divorce/maintenance] suits were pending against me in the court of Law and misusing RTI.

After this complaint my Office superirors called me and asked me to settle the matters immediately in 6 months or else my job would be in trouble.

Still nothing has been settled, further company asked me to leave the job.

Did he violate my Human Rights by writing a letter to my office only for filing RTI against him, If so, can i file any civil suit [tort] against him.

Please suggest any valuable solutions.

yes, you can file civil suit for damages for the loss of reputation and lowering of reputation in the eyes of others. That letter has devalued your reputation.

Yes, It amounts to defamation, you can file civil as well as criminal case. For which you have give legal notice first asking either to prove allegation or tender written apology unconditional.If conditions of notice are not complied you can go for the both remedies.

yes, i strongly support the views expressed by the above experts and because the law of torts and very rarely used in country the public does not knows the use and effects of law of torts.

i suggest to file a case for damages under law of torts and criminal case of defamation against the person who authored the letter
