  1. If the threatening calls are made on phone you can approach the  police and make a written complaint  against the  persons making calls and the  your opponents in civil dispute.
  2. More effective procedure is to approach the  High Court and bring to its notice the   It amounts of contempt of Court. High Court will issue direction to police to register FIR and provide protection to you.

1. Try to collect evidence in support of your said allegation like audio/video recording etc 

 

2. Thereafter lodge a police complaint against them asking for registering FIR based on your said complaint  and also seeking police protection.

 

3. If police refuses to act, file a Writ Petition before the High Court praying for direction upon the police to register FIR based on your said complaint, investigate and act as per law.

You should immediately file a complaint with the police for the offence of extortion and criminal intimidation under Section 383 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code against them along with the evidence of such activities.

You should not succumb to their threatening practice. 

Report Cyber cell of the police if you get any threatening calls or do remember to record the same for evidentiary purposes.

If the threats are persisting and you are afraid of the situations that are developing, you may give a complaint to the police seeking protection and necessary action against them an d the goons working for them.

If the police is not taking any action you can approach judicial magistrate court with a petition under section 156(3) cr.p.c. seeking direction to police to initiate appropriate legal action on your complaint.

- Legally , they cannot force you for the said settlement , hence you can file a complaint before the police against her threatening and submit that complaint copy before the said court where the matter is going on.
