I have consulted a famous advocate in bangalore his assistant is saying that jurisdiction will be only Bhopal, can you pls help me to understand why he said like that and why are you saying that i can file the case in Bangalore pls don't think otherwise

A Civil Action for damages for defamation has to be filed within 1 year of publication of defamatory materia. A criminal case on the other hand can be filed within 3 years from date of publication/acquittal.

Since a part of cause of action i.e your arrest which caused defamation - happened in Bangalore - Bangalore would indeed ahve jurisdiction, and since the impugned matter was filed in Bhopal - Bhopal has jurisdiction as it is. 

The reason is , while you were working in Bangalore, you have been arrested  and the same has been conitnued in

Bhopal, thats why i told you to file in Bangalore and it will be convenient for you to moniter the case and also some times you have to appear before the courts for giving evidence etc etc.

The reson given another person, ie., assisstant of a lawyer, is for the reason that  the complaint has been filed in Bhopal.

You can choose the place for filing the defamation case.
