Dear Ashwani
I don't know about real fact but if you have received the Legal Demand Notice you should sent a reply and contest the case. if you are not wrong you will be win.

Complaint against a lawyer can also be made before Bar Council and consumer forum. Legal notice should not be ignored and should be duly replied.
