This query is : Resolved
One of my friend harassing me by pressurizing to pay his share amount which we lost in business, there is nothing in writing
he is using the rowdies and harrasing me on phone by using vulgar language and defaming me in front of my family and common friends as he cannot take any legal step to sue me for the loss amount.
please advise what action should i take
shall i hire a criminal lawyer and make a FIR in PS against him and to protect me from him and his hench man?
or i have to file a petition in court
please advise

Try to work out an amicable settlement; after all you were friends.
However, your friend has no right to resort to criminal intimidation. If no options left, you can lodge an FIR.
