This query is : Resolved
Husband wife relationships have been strained and wife is at her parents home for past 1 month.Father in law all of a sudden telephonically speaks to husband's superior officer and makes amputations against the husband due to which husband reputation in workplace is badly affected.
Since it is a marital dispute and office superiors nowhere are concerned in such matter, Isn't speaking to office superiors on such issue and making allegations(which are as such false) defaming the husband or not? Can husband file a defamation case against father in law? If yes, whether witness of superior officer will be required or not?

Dear Ganesh
Unless complete information like the discussion held between your superior officer and your inlaws, genuineness of the allegation, spreading of allegation, etc are known, its difficult to advice on the matter. Its a very technical issue and need to be handled very tactfully.
