defamation

my son in law got a call from police station for a false complaint against him by his flat neighbour.
other building members know that complainant is doing wrong with dominating purpose in building.
Please let us know can he send/ file a defamation notice /case against that neighbour?
or any legal suggestions from respected forum members.
Thanks a lot.

If your neighbour has given a complaint to the police then you have to challenge it properly and get the case dismissed, if necessary you can give a counter complaint.

No defamation case would be maintainable.

what if case dismissed after police investigation and statment of both parties? because now everyone in building and friend family circle knows about the police matter and my clients and neighbours started gossiping over it.
Please Advise. Thanks Sir.

If there's no case made out or if it's dismissed then there's no offence committed by them in this regard against you.

Hence there's no defamation
