dear sirs,
kindly please guide us as to it is legally valid and correct to file a defamation suit against the Head of office by a subordinate officer as the Head of office submitted wrong and false information to the Head of the Dept with ulterior motives. Is it necessary to seek permission of the Head of the Dept before filing the defamation suit ?

Although the employee shall be affected and aggrieved party in the case, pointed by you, employee should follow the process of grievance redresses if any in the establishment. It shall be pertinent to write to the superior officer about the incidence with facts and that the image and creditability of the aggrieved party has been lowered and future prospects are affected and the damage caused is repairable, and defamation is caused.
If dept. permission is required it should be aimed and obtained.
