File Criminal Defamation on Wife


08-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hello Lawyers. I want filing Criminal defamation on my wife for calling me as impotent. I went to local police they said I need to go directly court, they can not directly lodge the FIR. I am ready to go to upper level of officer as I want to lodge FIR. If I google search for sections n IPC codes I get results ( https://bit.ly/3lI6Ag1 ) but as I tried to look for judgements I could not find any.
1. Can someone please help me to share the judgement link? I need judgement where it states that calling man impotent is criminal offence.
2. What need to be done if Police do not file the FIR.?
3. If any of my lawyer do have the FIR copy, please share the contact number I will call them. Thank You Pruthvi

You will have to file a private case against your wife before the nearest magistrate court understand section 200 of criminal procedure code. You may also file defamation calling upon her to pay certain amount of compensation, provided that you have all the proofs to prove the allegations.
