This query is : Resolved
That an employee was working as insurance manager with private hospital for almost 5 years and during his service he raised voice against the doctor for unethical and in time the employee was removed from the job and also not paid his dues and when employee sent notice the doctor filed false complaint of thief and blackmailing with police just to harass and pressurized and after few months doctor compromised before the poliianf paid the employee dues before the court and the employee cass was dismissed as withdrawn. My query is that can employee file defamation case against the doctor for filling false complaints.

If there was a compromise arrived and the employee accepted the settlement amount then where is any other case for the employee against the employer?
No defamation case would be maintainable.

No. You cannot file a defamation case as the parties compromised it.

No, there is no case / cause of action to file a defamation case.

Since the complainant withdrawn the complaint due to compromise arrived between him and employee and case/complaint was not dismissed on merits so no case of defamation is made out.
