Dear Sirs, A brother of mine files a police complaint against me and other two persons from our family sharing our family name whose name start with letter R. (My name does not start with letter R). Because someone with name, R Ourfamilyname had written a letter to a Bank where my brother is having loan a/c, saying something like he is not reliable for repayment of loans. Because of that letter , he says bank has rejected his loan application for his daughters ocerseas higher education. Therefore he wanted the police to find who it is and punish them. other two are having name starting with R whereas I was included becasue he doubts me. After the police usual rants, we said we have nothing to do with and and given a s staement and came out.
Why me - I had filed a suit for partition of family properties. In that suit many of his manupulations along with another brother of mine may come out. Probably he is trying to stop me from going ahead.
Now I want to file a defamation suit. I am a senior citizen. I have health issue. I have BP, Sugar, Cholestrol etc... and I had Hostiptals long and short stays few times. I want to calim , he tried to defame me, BUT i don't want to say my reputation is damaged and don't want to prove that so much of my reputation/respect got damaged. Can I claim only for the mental torture and for the health risk he put me into. Can I say the penalty should be paid to some state relief funds or central relief funds or some temple etc ??
