How to respond to a defamation case about an affair?

My wife filed a defamation case against me for an extra-marital affair. We married in 2002 and have two daughters aged 20 and 16. She is working and having an affair with her colleague. Most of her colleagues know about this matter. When I informed her superior, she and her boyfriend filed a case against me. I received a notice from a lawyer to respond within 15 days. The notice alleges that I took 544 grams of her gold (which I have never taken; some of it she used to buy property in her name, and the balance is still with her) and demands that I return it. Can you help me respond to this notice?

Sir, to respond to the legal notice, you should deny the allegations in writing, stating that you never took any gold. Provide evidence of the gold she used for property and clarify the balance still being with her. If possible, obtain witness statements or proof to support your claims. Consult a lawyer to draft a formal response to the notice and present your case appropriately in court, if required. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
