my seperated wife levelled grave false allegations of adultery on me by filing a complaint in the police station.
the complaint's reply was submitted by me in the police station.
the I.O. closed the case.
but she used the very said complaint in every case filed in courts :
1. divorce case, she pleaded for divorce on adultery grounds.
2. custody case, she pleaded that i should not be allowed to meet my child because am adulterous, and filed the same police complaint as mentioned above.
my question is that whether i can file for defamation suit or not.
she filed the police complaint in jan,2011and its november 2013 now. so almost three years will be completed in jan,2014.
can i file civil suit or criminal suit ?
what are the legitimate grounds for the same and what are the acceptable proofs for the same ?
please reply to my serious query asap.
