if you have proofs to substantiate your claims then you may first send defamation legal notice to the other party through your counsel calling upon the party to fulfill your demands or you would take legal recourse. If he doesn't abide by the conditions after receipt of the notice then you may file case before a magistrate

If you are acquitted by a court of law in a case registered under Section 509 of the IPC and the court acquits you, then if the government party or the complainant does not file an appeal against the acquittal in the district court within six months, you can file a defamation case against the complainant.

If you were falsely accused under Section 509 IPC and you have clear video evidence proving that no such act was committed, you can definitely take legal action. There are two possible remedies: 1. Defamation case (criminal or civil): You may file a criminal complaint under Section 500 IPC or a civil suit for damages, provided you can show that the allegation was false and intended to harm your reputation. 2. Action for false and malicious complaint: You may also consider filing a complaint for giving false information to police (Section 182 IPC) or for misusing the legal process, depending on facts. Before filing defamation, courts generally expect that the earlier case is closed, withdrawn, or you have been discharged/acquitted, because it strengthens your claim that the allegation was indeed false. Your video recording will serve as important evidence, but it must be authenticated and shown to be genuine

Well, if you have the requisite evidences available with you in your favour, then, you can absolutely win the Defamation Case. If you win the Civil Defamation Case, you can gain monetary compensation!
