I am a Central Govt Gazetted officer. Mr. X and my wife are directors in a Pvt. Ltd. company. Mr. X has taken friendly loan of Rs. 300000/- from my sister in an emergency and gave his cheque. Later, his cheque was bounced at Gwalior. Due to recent directives, cheque bounce case has been filed at Delhi. I have to be Attorney of my sister in the case.
Now Mr. X, in order to apply pressure on me to withdraw the said case against hi, issued a legal notice making various allegations against my reputation. Allegations are I am using company for making my black money white etc. Copy of this legal notice has been forwarded to my higher officials as well as to Vigilance Department.
Kindly advise whether I can file a defamation complaint under IPC 499/500.
