Ram can take legal action for defamation against Raj ony and not against the employer 

Why not? Raj spread a rumor that Ram comes from a poor family and is involved in dacoity, murders, and drugs. Ram went to the police station, and they told him that if Raj's claims are about events from 20 years ago, no court can convict him. Ram then provided a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), but they still refused to give him the promotion money. It seems they both conspired against him, even though they can't prove anything

In Indian law, Ram can file a suit against Raj and his employer on the basis of sharing false and defamatory content against him. In falsely stating that Ram is a criminal in Vijayawada, Raj has defamed by making a false claim that Ram has never been found guilty of a crime. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines defamation as the creation or publication of false statements that harm a person in Section 499. Section 500 IPC provides imprisonment or a fine as punishment of defamation. Section 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) asserts that Ram can file criminal complaint over defamation against Raj within the three-year period of statute of limitations of publication of this story due to the malicious publication of this story by Raj.

In addition, the tort of defamation in India is a tort and so Ram can also sue to get damages. Ram will need to prove that the comment was false and defamatory and that it cost him money and his reputation. In the case of Subramanian Swamy vs. Union of India (2016) 7 SCC 221, the Supreme Court has declared the constitutionality of the Section 499 IPC and has emphasized that in line with Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, right to life also entailed the right to reputation.

There is also the liability to the employer who refused to increase the pay of Ram and his act of prosecuting Raj based on his fake complaint. Employers are of the duty to verify the facts before adopting unfavorable measures against the employees. The court in Wipro Ltd. vs. Manish Agarwal (Delhi High Court, 2022) emphasized that when companies are communicating defamatory information, it is necessary to be diligent by awarding compensation to an employee when the termination letter includes defamatory statements.

Ram can sue the employer based on the action based on false information and claim damages in the injury to his finances and reputation. He must find evidence, including the recording of the chat, and any correspondence of the employer. It will be necessary to contact a lawyer who knows the basics of employment and defamation law to pursue both criminal and civil justice. The help of this strategy will allow Ram to protect his honor and seek justice according to the applicable laws.
