Where and how to file defamation after false FIR case?
My cousin filed a false FIR under Section 354. Police found no evidence, and an FR (Final Report) was submitted. Can I now file a defamation case? Where can I file it and how long does it take?

Yes, you can file a defamation case now. File in the place where the damage to your reputation occurred (your residence or workplace). It’s a criminal or civil case depending on your choice. Cases take time—1 to 2 years typically. Collect a copy of the FR as proof. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
