Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

criminal complaint filed for defamation u/s 500 IPC. Cancelled P/A used by accused for defaming complainant, by filing unrequired suit in Supreme Court against own grand mother of 100 years for property related matter. Suit filed intentionally at grandmothers age of 100 years, so that all relatives in celebration mood will help the accused defame complainant totally. Metropolitan court asked complainant to produce witnesses. Hon'ble supreme court advocate who moved proceedings at supreme court confirms in writing that he recd. instructions from accused to do so. Is this writing sufficient for witness stage or this supreme court advocate is required to be called as a witness in person before metropolitan court ? Metropolitan court ordered huge amounts to be deposited for calling supreme court advocate, what is other alternative ?

No suit is maintainable in Supreme Court. Your remedy may depend upon the alleged letter you mentioned? Since the matter is pending in Court, the counsel conducting the case will be better aware of complete facts; therefore, his advice in the matter may be relevant.
