False accusation of forging a will
4 months ago
My brother has filed a caveat in the Bombay High Court in response to my Testamentary Petition, wherein he has accused me of having forged my aunt's will. The only justification he has given for this accusation is that I filed the TP more than a year after my aunt expired. What are my legal options against this accusation.
A.Dear Client,
In the given situation, you can file a counter appeal/claim against your brother for bringing a false allegation and accusation of forgery claiming compensation for the injury/damage caused to you for said false allegation by filing suit before the same court where the caveat is filed for defamation (under Section 500 of IPC), criminal conspiracy (under Section 120B IPC), false evidence ( under Section 191 IPC), or even criminal intimidation (Section 506 IPC). If someone has made false accusations against you, contact an experienced attorney who can help you to understand your legal rights as you seek to restore your reputation and make good of the damage done by the lies that have been told.
