This query is : Resolved
Dear Sirs,
I have been wrongly framed in a criminal case and I was acquitted a year back. Because of this case, I lost my job and suffered huge financial loss which made my financial situation worsen beyond a limit.
I already filed a criminal defamation case and has been accepted by the court. I also like to file a case for civil defamation to get the compensation for my financial losses. However, I do not have money for the court fee which could be over 1Lakh.
What is the remedy. How can a financially broken person who doesn't have money for court fee get justice for his or her financial losses.
Experts, please suggest a solution. Many many thanks and gratitude in advance.

The court can decide if the person is indigent.
Your own counsel can guide you further.

Have trust in your lawyer, he is fully aware of the case file.
Without referring full details, it is not possible to advise as desired by you.

If you need details, I am here to give details but do not point me to my lawyer. I am here to get other experts opinion so it's not about trusting my lawyer or not.
So now please get back to question and ask me what additional details you need to answer my question.
