Partnership firm liability

This query is : Resolved
A partnership firm X has a power of attorney Mr. Y who has signed documents on behalf of the firm.
These documents were used to make me part with legal papers that Mr.Y, the PoA, used for fraudulent purposes both against me as well as other parties. This has brought me great disrepute.
1. Can I file a case of cheating or breach of trust?
2. Please point me to law regarding who should be made respondents:
(1) all the individual members of the partnership firm as well as the power of attorney?
(2) the firm as a legal entity?
