Someone files false cases and drags up to Supreme Court: Suit for damages for abuse of process within 3 years

If someone files false case and damages you and drags you up to Supreme Court.

Then you can file suit for damages after case in Supreme Court is over. Within 3 years. (My impression is, it should be filed within one year, though I have not yet cross checked it)

This is the purport of Gujarat High Court Judgement. (Suit for damages: 3 years after dismissal of SLP by Supreme Court ... AIR 1986 Guj 35 (48) )
