My neighbour in Delhi filed a complaint against me and my family in Madhya Pradesh, claiming we blocked a road. He served a legal notice from a Magistrate court, accusing us of various offenses. I’m worried about the harassment and am stuck in Delhi due to work. Can I file a defamation case against him here?

You can file a defamation case in Delhi against your neighbour for making false accusations. However, the court may transfer the case to Madhya Pradesh where the original complaint was filed, considering the subject matter of the case. It is advisable to consult a lawyer for legal advice specific to your situation.
