Dear experts,
I wanted to know whether, I can initiate some action in the case below:
We are 5 brothers. 2 of us had a land which we sold to a builder. A road passed through the land of other 3 brothers. This road is there since 1985. However, when these brothers got to know about the sale, they asked me for money which I plainly refused. They then filed a suit seeking a stay against the builder so that he could not use the passage through their land. However, their application was rejected by the court. In their suit they said that we had illegally constructed the road and they were shocked to see the road through their land when they visited their property. I also gave a witness statement against my brother saying that there indeed was a road present at that location.
Now recently one of the brothers who filed a suit has sold his land to the same builder. He has done a registered agreement with the builder in which he has mentioned that the road existed there since a very long time. This contradicts the whole suit that was filed earlier and proves that the whole suit was based on false and frivolous information just to get money.
My question is whether, I can initiate any criminal proceedings against them. They might also file an application and take their case against the builder back. But can I do anything by law to get them punished for their false suit.
