Dear Client,
The first thing to do after getting a legal notification of overstated or false allegations is to write back to the complainant through an attorney within the timeline given in the notification. You will have to explicitly deny the false claim of not paying back any money. Per the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly the Indian Evidence Act), the documents showing the transactions made by your brother and sister, such as bank statements or UPI receipts, may be important in proving the ₹35,000 repayment. Also, in the case of common friendly loan matters, it is very hard for the complainant to prove that he faced “mental torture” worth ₹50,000 in a civil court due to a lack of proof. Your reply may mention that you are ready to pay back the remaining ₹15,000. Ignoring the notice may lead to a civil recovery application as per the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, it is advisable to reply to the notice as it gives one-time evidence. I hope this answer helps. If you have any further query kindly do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you
Hello,
You need to reply to this notice and state that out of 50K you have already paid 35K and that a sum of 15K is only due which you intend to repay by October, 2025 end. Further ask your advocate to add that if such frivolous notices are sent to you again, you shall not only file appropriate case as against your family member but also against the advocate.

Dear Sir,
Suit for Recovery: If you don't respond adequately, your relative may file a civil suit for recovery of money in court. Your lawyer will defend this suit, primarily by showing the court your evidence of the ₹35,000 payment.
