yes. It is mandatory to serve a prior notice before filing a defamation petition or criminal complaint against section 500 IPC. What do you mean by value of cd?

I agree with Raj MuKkad,CD may some time turn to be reverse effect to the one who produces to court, if that lady takes the contention of blackmail n forceful threatening record against her.

Dear Sir ,
1. In case of defamation under section 499, 500,501 IPC , there is no need to give any previous notice .It is a criminal case .
2. For CD , it is on to that reporter , he have to prove that he is right and he publish the matter bonafidely . See also [Exceptions of 499 IPC]. Anuz Doda Advocate

to file a civil suit notice is mandatory and for criminal case it is not necessary. Publisher of the paper also necessary party to both the cases.
