You can consider the following steps for your defamation and malicious proceedings case:
*. Criminal Defamation: File a complaint in the Magistrate's Court in your area.
*. Civil Defamation: Initiate proceedings in the District Court or High Court if the claim exceeds the lower court's jurisdiction.
*. Malicious Proceedings: File in the same court where the false FIR was lodged.
