Defamation suit - wife

Rajan (Querist) 30 January 2013 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sirs,

I have established in the Court of Law that the Respondent (wife) with all intention provided fictitious name and false identity of the Petitioner (Husband) with absolute wrong name, profession and address, in the cross examination she accepted to have committed the mistake. I depend on IPC 419, even though it is a offence but not punishable but have committed mistake. Also because of her act of flase identity and fictitious name, the Petitioner name in the society has been lowered and he was under stress and strain resulting in termination from his job as he didnt attend the job for the Respondent declaration in the public records.

Sir, can the Petitioner be entitled to file a defamation suit against the Respondent for lowering his character by providing ficititious name and false identity in the public document? Kindly advice
